Truffles!  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...

Nice Caney !  Never tried the ones from Oregon.  When I do buy them (not often) I get 'em from these guys.

To get the most out of those little gems you need a truffle shaver - another useful kitchen gadget.

No, they don't taste like morels.  By themselves they really don't have much taste and are kind of corky or chewey, but the aroma  is incredible and unique.

Bryan, that's the high carb kinds.  I gotta stay with the low carb kind!   

With BLSH - nothing like morels.  Fried morels are incredible!  I've got some friends that will bring me some if I pester them enough, but will not let me go with them.  Serious secret! 

Don't have a truffle shaver, just use a cheese slicer.  I'm like Alton - no single use gadgets!  Well not too many!  ;D ;D

I've had preserved truffles that don't have much flavor, but the fresh ones can be potent, if they they are fresh.  The Black ones keep their aroma and taste pretty well.  The white ones can lose both pretty fast.

Bummer - nothing like morels.

When I lived in MI I "hunted" morels - had 80 acres of "secret spots".  Nothing like 'em.

Try this sometime - dry a bunch ( easiest thing in the world to dry), then drop them in a food processor and grind to a powder, then add to the flour and make pasta.  Cook pasta as usual and sauce with a morel and cream sauce.  Killer!

Next time I buy some fresh truffles I have to try this with them.  Maybe a much simpler saucing.  Forget the canned versions - not worth it.

I hunted some mushrooms south of the intra-coastal waterway...
And, south of the sugar cane fields...
Ain't nothin' like them either.

Truffles ain't like THAT are they?
Hmmmm.
Awrighten.

Hunted mushrooms a few times.  Got off a lot of shots, but when we went to pick them up, couldn't find 'em any more.  Guess we only wounded 'em and they got away.















;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
