What can I cook with truffles?

They pair well with pasta, soups, potatoes, and dishes like risotto . It is typically recommended to avoid using white truffle oil on a heavier dish as the flavors may not pair well, but do not be afraid to experiment.

Do I need to refrigerate chocolate truffles?

Keep truffles in a cool, dark place and keep them dry. Because truffles are generally a much softer consistency than tempered chocolate, it's more likely that you will need to put them in the fridge in warm weather . As with tempered chocolate, make sure the truffles are well wrapped and in an airtight container.

What can I do with leftover truffles?

Store leftovers (or even whole truffles) with eggs for a few days, you'll be amazed at how quickly they absorb that heady chocolaty flavor that only truffles have. Prepare a butter-and-cheese based sauce (for white truffles), or a light olive oil-based one for black truffles, and freeze to use whenever you want.

Do truffles have to be round?

Truffles are usually small, round or irregularly shaped , with a rough, bumpy exterior. They range in color from black to white; some species have a marbled appearance.

How do you prepare and cook truffles?

Avoid a lot of heat: Don't cook them too much or you will drive off much of the flavour and aroma. If using in a hot dish, such as a soup or sauce, slice or grate the truffle in just before serving or warm briefly in a little oil. Use quickly: The strength of the truffle flavour will naturally decrease over time.

What should you not pair with truffles?

You can have more creative liberties when using truffle products than fresh truffles. For instance, we do not recommend pairing fresh truffles with spicy or highly acidic foods because it will take away the flavor.

What does truffle not go with?

Avoid pairing truffles with ingredients that are too spicy or acidic –like citrus or tomato sauce–as these are likely to overpower the truffle's flavor.

Why is truffle so expensive?

Why are truffles so expensive? Pound for pound, truffle is one of the most expensive foods you can buy. The reason behind such high costs is the scarcity of the produce, truffles are seasonal, extremely difficult to grow, and take many years to cultivate . They also have a short shelf life.

Why are my truffles not holding shape?

Also, says out senior food editor Andy Baraghani, adding too much of a liquid will make the truffles challenging to roll; they won't hold their shape because they'll be too watery . With alcohols—that includes extracts—you'll want to wait to add them until you take the mixture off the heat.

What balances out truffle?

A creamy Brie or Camembert creates a lush backdrop for black truffle's earthy depth, while a firm, salty Pecorino is the perfect counterpoint to the milder, subtly sweet summer truffle. Additionally, the nutty, buttery flavor of an aged Gouda works well with the robust profile of white truffles.

Why don't you cook truffles?

Truffles are extremely pungent , and for this reason should never be cooked as your main ingredient, but rather as a powerful accent. A modest handful of grated or shaved truffle can pack a surprisingly strong punch.

Hello! Thanks for sharing so many truffle recipes! I’m planning to get some started for Valentine’s Day. Are Ghirardelli candy making & dipping wafers suitable or stick to the 3 you suggested? Thanks so much!
Reply
Yes – Ghiradelli is totally acceptable! They’ll taste better too. And you can also use the baking chocolate bars if you don’t have melts lying around.
