Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:48 pm Post subject: How do you use white truffle salt and white truffle oil? |
|
|
I am somewhat familiar with how to use white truffle oil - on pasta or eggs - and I've had the giddy experience of fresh Italian white truffles, which I see so rarely I needn't discuss them at this point...but I was given a jar of white truffle salt for Christmas, and I am not sure how to best use it. Although it's wonderful just shaken on a piece of buttered toast. Does anyone know how to make a "crust" on a piece of meat? I had a rare lamb chop years ago at a french restaurant with a "white truffle crust" and the flavor of truffle really came through, but I have no idea how to achieve this, and I know that cooking can completely eradicate the truffle flavor. Certainly, one can destroy a fresh truffle by cooking it (I did this one time, to my utter horror); that's why you just shave a bit on top of things. What I'm looking for is suggestions of how to use truffle oil and truffle salt, and also how to achieve a truffle crust on a roasted meat. |

We've had good results treating the truffle oil just like you would a truffle. Instead of shaving a bit on, just sprinkle on a few drops to finish a dish after cooking -- we do this with a fish in parchment paper recipe we use, and I've stirred it into soups as well. |

I like to use a few drops of white truffle oil in mashed potatoes. |

You should also try making your own Pomme Frittes (yes, french fries) and tossing them with some truffle oil. Amazing |

Since the suggestion by guest to make french fries and drizzle w/ white truffle oil, I had that very dish in - where else?))) - Portland Ore. Outrageously delish, simply intoxicating. And on risotto - that is done in Northern Italy. Thanks to all, and I read all new suggestions w/email alert of activity. |

I usually don't like truffle, but recently I tried it on pizza with cheese and chicory, and I love this pizza! |
