Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put the morels in a dish, cover with boiling water and allow to soak for an hour. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid, then pat the morels dry and spread on paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Boil the soaking liquid down in a small saucepan until it is reduced to two tablespoons. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Snap ends off asparagus and slant-cut in inch-and-a-half lengths.

  4. Step 4

    Heat two tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet. Add the asparagus, sprinkle with salt and stir-fry about four minutes. Add the drained morels and stir-fry another four minutes or so, until the vegetables are tender. Set aside.

  5. Step 5

    Add the vinegar and wine to the mushroom liquid and cook for one minute. Begin to whisk in the remaining butter, about a tablespoon at a time over low heat, until a thickened, creamy sauce results. Season with pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Divide the asparagus and morels among four plates, spoon some of the sauce over each, dust with chervil and serve.
