I hear her voice / And start to run / Into the trees / Into the trees
(cue Simon Gallup)
yes, obviously, I've lost my mind...
Putting it together, we used a sushi rice mold, and then layered the base with garlic mashed potatoes, and pressed in the grilled asparagus (minus the tips).
The next layer was toasted ground walnuts with tamari and pepper. We could have just eaten these all night...
For the top layer, the morels were washed, dried, tossed with olive oil and tamari, then roasted for 20 minutes at 375F. They were stuffed with a mix of cream cheese, chives and roasted garlic.
They were fantastic.
Finally, the grilled ramp leaf was added along with the "buried" asparagus tips.
