Top 5 truffle condiments to stock the pantry with
There is nothing quite like fresh truffle shaved over the top of hot pasta or stirred through a creamy risotto. But there are some additional ways to appreciate the earthy aroma of truffle, here are a few you might want to try:
1. Truffle oil: Truffle oil is a popular ingredient used in cooking, made by infusing oil with truffle essence. It can be used as a finishing oil for salads, soups, pasta, and risotto, or a flavouring for additional truffle-themed condiments.
2. Truffle salt: Truffle salt is made by blending finely ground truffles with salt. It can be used as a seasoning for meat, fish, vegetables, and popcorn.
3. Truffle honey: Truffle honey is a sweet and savoury condiment made by infusing honey with truffle pieces and aroma. It is a great addition to cheese plates and can be drizzled over roasted meats, vegetables and even a creamy pasta.
4. Truffle aioli: Truffle aioli is a delicious dipping sauce made by blending mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and truffle oil. It is a great addition to sandwiches, burgers, and fries.
5. Truffle mustard: Dijon mustard infused with black truffle creates a light texture, mild heat condiment with heady truffle flavours and aromas. This is a key ingredient in our favourite Truffle Mustard Zucchini Pickles!
