Moose & Morel Dip

A wild twist on beef dip, moose and morel dip is a quick and delicious dinner!

 

Rinsing fresh morels is a crucial step that helps loosen any dirt from the mushrooms (or if you have picked fire morels, it helps get rid of the gritty ash.) Slice the morels in half and then soak in cold, lightly salted water for around five minutes. You can also make this with dried morels – simply rehydrate the morels in cool water for around 10 minutes before draining thoroughly and cooking as directed.

Ingredients

1 moose roast, cooked and thinly sliced

Two cups of broth

Two cups of fresh morels, cut in half and soaked in salt water

One medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

Several tablespoons butter

Mayonnaise

Bread or buns

How To Make Moose And Morel Dip

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour broth into a baking dish and add a moose roast that is seasoned with salt and pepper. Put into oven and cook until medium rare, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly. Retain the liquid that is left after cooking for the au jus.

 

Over medium heat, melt several tablespoons of butter on the stovetop in a cast iron pan. Add the sliced onions and morels and fry for approximately 10 minutes or until the morels are cooked thoroughly.

 

When it comes time to assemble the sandwiches, slather a bun or a couple slices of bread in mayonnaise, layer with sliced moose meat and top with fried onions and morels. Serve with au jus on the side!
