2. Put the morels one by one carefully in a saute pan, with the olive oil, heated to medium (Do not use a non-stick pan).
3. Add the diced raw garlic and thinly sliced red onion.
4. Saute until the garlic and onion are brown and morels are crispy.
5. Pour a splash of brandy (or rum) into the saute pan, light, and flambe.
6. Let the alcohol cook off (just a few minutes), then put all ingredients in a serving bowl.
7. Top off with shavings of a hard cheese and a pinch of smoked Yakima Salt.
