Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the morels in a small bowl, cover with about 1 ½ cups very warm water and let soak until softened. Drain and reserve the soaking liquid.

  2. Step 2

    Melt the butter in the oil in a shallow saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté until soft, but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and heat to boiling. Boil 1 minute to reduce slightly. Add the prepared gravy, peppercorns and morels.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the gravy to boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the flavors are blended, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and season to taste with salt and pepper.
