The Truffle: Eat Your Gold

The truffle. At $200 - $2000 dollars a pound they are the equivalent of culinary gold. Earlier today truffles came up in conversation and I thought hmmmmm, I wonder how much you can do with truffles? Typically when I think of the black and white root mushroom my mind immediately goes to French and Italian cuisine, but truffles can also be found in China, Crotaia, and the Pacific North West. So if you are looking to splurge this month, here are some truffle dishes to try:

Wild Mushroom and Black Truffle Ragu over Fettucine

Creamy Polenta with Fricassee of Truffled Mushroom

Black Truffle Risotto with Parsley

Black Truffle and Pumpkin Risotto

Truffle Popcorn

Bruschetta with Black Truffle

Baked Potato Chips with Black Truffle

Fried Egg with White Truffle

Fried Oyster with Black Truffle and Butter
