Methods/steps
- Soak the morels in the water until soft. Drain & squeeze dry the morels, reserving the water while omitting any grit. Cut in half lengthwise twice (quarters), then across in 1/16" strips. Set aside.
- Saute the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until soft but not browned. Add the white wine and increase heat to boil off the alcohol for a couple of minutes. Add the reserved morel water, chicken broth, wild rice, tarragon, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, drop to a slow simmer, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
- Add the white rice, sliced morels and pine nuts. Adjust seasonings. Bring back to a boil, drop to a slow simmer, cover and cook another 20 mminutes or until liquid is absorbed.
