Notes
Before I share the recipe with you, I just wanted to share a few facts that I’ve learned about our dear friend. The truffle is actually the fruiting body of an underground mushroom, and can be found within the leaf litter and the soil around certain types of trees. They are highly acclaimed in the culinary world and often referred to as “the diamond of the kitchen”. Being one of the most expensive edible delights, the costs will knock your socks off…ranging all the way up to €1,000 per kilo! Ouch! [Hence the truffle oil & salt in my house]. If you’re wondering, yes, I will be cooking with truffle oil & salt again…and perhaps shaved truffles one day!
