You should never eat uncooked morel mushrooms. Cooking takes a certain poison out of the mushrooms.
Question – there is no oil in the dressing – I figure the maple syrup must tone down the vinegar but still isn’t it too zesty?
This is now one of my favorite kale and mushroom recipes. Very very tasty!
First and foremost, never eat raw morels. they are very toxic. please assist your recipe to cook them first then grind them in the blender.
This is not correct. You can eat morals raw but you shouldn’t eat a large amount of them raw at one time- the amount in this recipe is perfectly safe. Additionally drying then rehydrating takes care of the issue also. Second- why would your grind them?! Morals are delicious eating- whole/chopped and sautéed or added into recipes. They’re my favorite mushroom- delicious!
This looks delicious!! Thank you. I’m pinning this.
