Chicken Oysters with Angel Hair Pasta

This dish is inspired by a recipe from Larousse Gastronomique book “Chicken Oyster with Morels (sot-l’y-laisse aux morilles) from Jean-Claude Ferrero’s recipe. Carefully wash 4-5 morels and split them in two lengthwise. Dredge 6-8 chicken oysters with flour and fry briskly in 25 g butter in a shallow pan together with 1 chopped shallot. When golden brown, season with salt and pepper and add morels. Cover the pan and cook gently for 7-8 minutes, then add 1 dl Savignon and finish cooking with the lid off. (A little nutmeg will further improve the flavour). Add1 tablespoon cream and cook for another 10-12 minutes. Serve in a hot dish.”
