I’m on the hunt for morels and fava beans. Usually I can get them and fresh asparagus at some point for my favorite spring pasta!

Fantastic

Do you soak in water first then how to dry?

My daughter got me this for my birthday, she bought it from her artist friend.

I don’t soak them I cut them in half lengthwise to check for extra protein :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:, and brush them with a soft brush.

Since they were picked today . They will be put in the vegetable crisper in the fridge. In the paper bag . As far as moisture . I’ll reintroduce this when sautéing in butter.

BF made gyudon for dinner at my request, with thinly cut American wagyu beef from 99 Ranch. Delish flavors, but i’m not sure why he didn’t put the meat/egg/broth over the rice, as it’s supposed to seep in and flavor it. But no complaints here.

I made bourbon-glazed salmon (reduced the brown sugar), broccoli-cheese rice pilaf from a packet, and steamed broccoli. I liked the salmon a lot.

Love gyudon and oyakodon but somehow never think to make them at home!

Are there edible flowers on the salmon?

Looks delicious, I bookmarked the recipe, it will be appearing soon on my dinner table.

I much prefer dried and reconstituted morels to fresh — but that might have to do with the millions of ants I had to rid a bunch off that I got at the FM a few years back. Flavor was also much milder than dried/reconstituted.

Yep – chive blossoms

I suggest squeezing some OJ into the pan sauce, too. I would next time.
