They use dogs here and they cost a bomb.
I think people who are too snobbish to use summer truffles are really
stupid. Most of my work happens before white truffle season, which lasts
about a month. I use much cheaper summer truffles instead, and I just use
more of them.
Peel back the skin on a big turkey breast or thigh. Rub in some Marsala
wine, season with salt and herbs-- no garlic-- then cover the meat with
thinnest slices of summer truffle. Put the skin back on, season a bit and
roast at 175° C or 365° F until just done. Not a thing wrong with that
flavor and it costs only about 15 euro.
