¼ cup chopped fresh sage leaves plus extra for garnish
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus extra to taste
1 tablespoon Vietnamese or Thai fish sauce
1 cup fresh morels (2 ounces)
3 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups half-and-half
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Purée sage, lemon juice and fish sauce. Pour through a fine sieve and press to extract all the juice. Discard solids.
