MORELS, LIKE MOST WILD MUSHROOMS, ARE SEASONAL, DELICIOUS, AND EXPENSIVE, SELLING FOR $65 A POUND IN THE HOLLYWOOD FARMERS’ MARKET. SO WHEN THEY TURNED UP ON FOOD 52 FOR $35 A POUND, WHAT COULD I DO? I MEAN WHO CAN RESIST A BARGAIN? I LOOKED UP SEVERAL RECIPES AND THE MOST APPEALING WAS ONE BY LUDOVIC LEFEBVRE, MEANT TO ACCOMPANY GRILLED VEAL CHOPS. I SIMPLIFIED IT A BIT, COMBINING TWO SAUCES INTO ONE AND SERVED THE MORELS WITH ROAST CHICKEN AND A RICE PILAF. I WAS AFRAID I’D MADE WAY TOO MANY, BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE END OF THE BUFFET LINE, THERE WERE TWO LEFT. BUMMER.
