Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
36 small fresh morels, rinsed, or dried morels, soaked in boiling water for 30 minutes, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
1 pound asparagus, tough ends discarded, asparagus halved lengthwise and cut into 2-inch lengths
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
5 ounces frisée, torn into bite-size pieces
1 head medium butter lettuce, torn
2 tablespoons (small) chervil sprigs
Argan oil, for drizzling (optional; see Note)

Instructions

In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the morels and stock, cover and cook over moderately high heat until softened, 5 minutes. Add the asparagus, cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and cook uncovered until the broth is nearly absorbed, 1 minute longer.
In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil with the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the frisée, butter lettuce and chervil and toss to coat. Arrange the morels and asparagus on plates and mound the salad alongside. Drizzle with argan oil, if using, and serve.
