BLACK TRUFFLE CREAM
Have you bought a black truffle or have you been given one as a gift and don't know what to do with it so you don't end up preparing the same old recipe?
We'll show you an alternative, perfect for these cold months when you fancy a hot dish, a truffle cream that can be prepared in less than 10 minutes.
So it's time to get to work and innovate a little by preparing a new dish that, if you are a lover of truffle flavour, we're sure you'll repeat.
What do we need to prepare a delicious truffle cream?
In these months when black truffles are in season, we are sure that you have stocked up on some, and now perhaps you don't know what to use them for because you have tired of simply grating them on top of other dishes.
For those moments we give you the solution, a truffle cream for which you will only need these ingredients:
- 1 Black Truffle (50-60 grams)
- 40 grams of butter
- 150 milliliters of cooking cream
- Salt and pepper
- A quarter of a liter of broth of your choice, vegetables, meat, ...
- Cheese to grate (optional, although everything always improves with cheese)
The ideal, if you have decided to add cheese, is to look for a cheese that melts relatively well so that it is integrated and you get a homogeneous cream, for this we recommend mozzarella cheese, although parmesan gives an incredible touch to this recipe.
How to prepare truffle cream at home
Truffle cream is an ideal accompaniment to perfectly appreciate the intense flavor of black truffle. You can add it to any dish to enjoy a pronounced truffle flavor.
If you want to learn how to prepare it at home in a simple way, here we show you step by step what you should do.
Let's start:
- We will start by heating a saucepan over medium heat in which we will put the butter, allowing it to melt slowly. To enhance all the flavors of this recipe, we recommend toasting the butter. Simply wait for it to turn brown and release its aroma.
- Once the butter is toasted, lower the heat and add the cooking cream. Let it heat over low heat for a few minutes until it reduces. At this point we can also add the broth so that everything is integrated together.
- When we have the cream reduced, we add a generous amount of grated truffle, which will provide us with that intense flavor and aroma that we are looking for. This is the time to add salt and pepper to enhance the flavour even more.
- Finally, if you have decided to add cheese, grate a good amount and stir until it melts and integrates with the cream. Once you have a homogeneous cream, it is time to serve and enjoy.
If you want to achieve an even more intense flavour, use truffle butter, which will enhance the flavour of the black truffle to the maximum. We also recommend adding a little truffle oil on top of the cream just before eating it.
Uses of truffle cream
Once you have your truffle cream ready, you can eat it on its own, but you can also use it in other dishes.
What do you think about using it as a sauce for a pasta dish?
It is a perfect idea, since truffle and cheese combine perfectly with good quality pasta.
To do this, we recommend that you follow the previous recipe but do not reduce the cooking cream too much, or alternatively, add more broth. The idea of this is to make the cream less thick, we will need it more liquid to be able to integrate it better with the pasta.
Cook a handful of noodles while you make your truffle cream and then transfer them to a frying pan over medium heat, while you drizzle them with the sauce you just prepared. Stir everything together for a few minutes and plate, although before serving we recommend grating a little more truffle and parmesan cheese on top as a final presentation.
This dish combines the intensity of the flavor of the truffle with the umami of the cheese, once you try it you won't regret it.
How to combine truffle cream?
Normally, this type of cream is used to spread on toast or canapés, but there are a wide variety of preparations in which you can also use it, so try it yourself and experiment with your recipes to enjoy this truffle cream to the fullest.
And although we think the best option is to enjoy it alone as a main dish during the winter, we leave you with some more ideas so you can innovate:
- Toast: spread the truffle cream on some slices of bread. You can enjoy it alone or accompanied by some sausage that combines with its intense flavor.
- Meat: without a doubt, truffle cream is a great accompaniment for all types of meat, cover your favorite meat in this cream and enjoy.
- Puree: you can give a delicious flavor to purees by adding a little truffle cream on top, it especially combines well with mashed potatoes.
- Risotto: truffle cream with cheese will be ideal in this dish.
As you can see, the possibilities are endless. We encourage you to try making this recipe at home and discover for yourself the combination you like best.
