Michele Genest's award-winning cookbook, The Boreal Gourmet (Harbour Publishing, 2010), is full of delicious recipes featuring foods from the Yukon. We've adapted this recipe, which features locally grown morel mushrooms and is perfect served over pasta or grilled meats, from her cookbook. If you have fresh morels, substitute an equal amount for the dried, omitting the soaking. Just be sure to wash them well before using.
