Truffle Butter

The aroma of truffle is infused throughout the butter, creating a unique flavour which varies depending on the type of truffle used and the quality of the butter, but it is typically savoury and indulgent.

TRUFFLE BUTTER
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup / 125 grams high quality, unsalted butter (at room temperature)
2 tablespoons microplaned fresh black or whitish truffle
1/4 teaspoon sea salt flakes
MATERIALS:
Non-metal spoon
Microplane
Scales
Plastic, paper or beeswax food wrap
Refrigerator/freezer
METHOD:
In the mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, microplaned truffle and sea salt flakes.
Due to the natural moisture content of fresh truffle, the microplaned shavings can clump together. Be sure to sprinkle them evening over the softened butter to ensure more consistent distribution.
Gently mix well to combine the three ingredients.
Carefully transfer the combined mixture to your food wrap of choice and shape into a log (or other desired shape).
Roll the wrap around butter log completely and seal the ends by twisting.
Refrigerate the butter until firm, approximately 30 minutes.
Alternatively, add a layer of aluminium foil around the butter log or place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 6 months.
APPLICATION:
Remove the butter from the refrigerator or freezer and allow to come to room temperature before enjoying with your dish of choice.
We can’t go past a simple white, fresh crusty baguette, yum!
