Last week’s MATH’s, (middle aged trophy husband’s), report on easy quick food recipes, brought requests for ideas with more exotic ingredients. Here are some truffle dishes I have prepared for MrD.
But, first, let me present the good and bad news about our humble smelly friend the truffle. One small jar of truffle paste can cost anywhere from 10 to 100 dollars. That is the bad news. The good news is a little truffle goes a very long way.
Here is a quick list of a few of my simple food favourites made fresh again with my funky fungal friend.
MATH’s thirteen terrific truffle temptations.
Truffle cream cheese spread
Truffle pot stickers
Truffle, tomato and wild rice bruschetta
Grilled cheese sandwiches with truffles
Smoked wild salmon omelettes with truffles
Truffle pizza
Pasta with truffles
Tuna steak with a truffle crust
Roast chicken with truffles under the skin
Pork chops stuffed with sauerkraut, goat cheese and truffles
Ham with truffles, pineapple and Swiss cheese
Baked sweet potato fries with dill and truffle paste
Truffle ice cream? Okay maybe not.
Don’t let our friend the snobby truffle’s reputation ruin your dinner. A truffle is just a mushroom that never grew up.
Contact me if you want any of the recipes.
I am off to Toronto later this week without MrD for a quick visit with the fabulous MsC and will report back next week end. Have a great week.
