Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. ½ pound morel mushrooms
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  4. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
  5. 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  6. 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  7. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  8. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  9. 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  10. ½ teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Brush mushrooms clean. Trim ends and cut mushrooms in half lengthwise.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir gently with a spatula to evenly coat mushrooms with the oil. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms begin to brown and soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add shallots and thyme, then turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until shallots soften and just begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add butter, parsley, and lemon juice; stir to melt butter and blend ingredients.
  4. Remove from heat and sprinkle with lemon zest and additional black pepper if desired. Serve hot.
