Got truffles!
Awhile ago I had asked about where to find truffles in Philly.
I found them. A tiny jar with three truffles in it with some extra virgin olive oil. They are black summer truffles. I've never had truffles, that I'm aware of. Now I wonder what to do with them. The salesperson said once I open the jar, they will continually decay. I was going to try shaving some on top of cheese and crackers and over linguini and pesto. I've queried a lot of recipes but strangely, few call for truffles. Gonna have to put some on a cheeseburger just because! Any other dishes? Don't so much need recipes, just dish ideas. Thanks, Andy |

Don't so much need recipes, just dish ideas. > Summer truffles are Tuber aestivum. It's possible you will find other recipes by doing a Google search for Tuber aestivum recipes. I'd second the omelet idea first. Also, they can be mashed up in the olive oil into a paste, which should last for much longer than just the truffles. The salesperson is correct in that once the truffles are exposed to air, they will being degrading. But the portion under oil should remain fine for at least a week after opening the jar. If the jar doesn't have enough olive oil to cover the truffles, just add a little more. Tuber aestivum is one of my favorites. I had it last year at the North American Truffling Society dinner, when Dr. Jim Trappe brought in a rissoto with truffles he had purchased in France, I believe. It was originally identified as Burgundy truffle, but proven to be the same as T. aestivum. And much better than many other European truffles I've had! Daniel B. Wheeler www.oregonwhitetruffles.com |

Om, I'll try my spinach/tomato/cheese omelette and top it with truffle slivers. I'll skip the tabasco so I capture the flavor. I will save the jar's truffle oil for something like a foccacia oil coating. Thanks, Andy |

Truffles are so precious that you must not waste them to make simple recipes with simple ingredients such as eggs. Death of truffle is eggpasta "Tagliolini" with butter and truffle grated over in very thin slices. Then you can make "Risotto al tartufo" or Albese meat, a sort of "carpaccio" od raw meat. Only if you have many kilos of truffles you can take the liberty to cook them in Frittata.

Don't so much need recipes, just dish ideas. Truffles chopped fine in extra virgin olive oil atop cappellini with just a touch of salt. I also like making a leek and cream sauce with black truffles to go over linguine. One of the most elegant dishes I ever had was so simple -- just shaved black truffles over bread that had been rubbed with fresh garlic, brushed with oil and grilled. A variation on that is to cook them with porcini mushrooms and put that on grilled bread. They seem to really stand out when they are cooked with mushrooms. They are so delicate that the best dishes are the simplest, with as few flavors as possible to obscure the truffle. Truffles don't stand up well to acid backgrounds. -- Sir Baldin Pramer, RPA |

This morning I made scrambled eggs and slivered one of the truffles
(large marble sized) over them and I couldn't taste them! I was under the impression they were very pungent/aromatic. The jar's original seal was unbroken until I opened it. What's up with that? I have two left. I hope they're not duds too! Andy |

As far as I'm concerned, it is exactly because they are precious that they ought to be enjoyed mostly for the own sake. Eggs are a perfect vehicle, no different from simple pasta in this regard. Like pasta, they provide a nice, neutral background to underline the flavour and aroma of truffles. The very best truffle dish I have ever had was "oeuf mollet aux truffes", a soft-boiled, shelled egg with truffles, in the Dordogne (Périgord-Quercy) region of France. To me, it opened up the "essence" of truffles. Victor |

Well, scrambled eggs and truffle were a big disappointment.
Truffle two, last night was shredded over d'affinois cheese on toasted french bagette coins. Same disappointment. Truffle three this morning was shredded over remaining french bagette coins after french toasting in egg batter, topped with cream cheese. Total disappointment. I need to travel to where they hunt them to know their true flavor before I spend another $25 for an ounce of tastelessness, dagnabbit!!! Andy |
