jaws Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I have just purchsed some fresh Tasmanian truffles. Any suggestions how to eat them? I saw Gordon Ramsey serve a parmesan and shaved truffle thin-based pizza which looked awesome. Jaws Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 These are black truffles, aren't they? How fragrant are they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SFJoe Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Any idea of the species? There are many truffles that are blackish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jaws Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 These are black truffles, aren't they? How fragrant are they? Hi Lippy Yes, they are black. A deep, earthy fragrance is the only way I can describe. Looks a bit like wombat poo! Jaws Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Usually it's the white truffles that are shaven over pasta, but if these are that fragrant, you could try doing that. You can also do the same thing with creamy scrambled eggs or an omelet. You say that you've purchase "some." You can always put one in rice and let the fragrance infuse the rice. Then you'll have some truffle-flavored rice to use in the future. Be sure to use a closed container. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
g.johnson Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Poussins en demi-deuil. Roast poussin (or chicken) with slices of truffle under the skin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
