Poached eggs with black truffle
If you want to prepare a special breakfast or lunch for your partner, you can do so with this easy recipe. You'll need eggs, bread, avocado, arugula, tomato, and truffle. First, toast a slice of bread, then top it with sliced avocado, sliced tomato, and arugula. Prepare the poached eggs. Heat water in a saucepan, crack the egg into a cup, and set it aside. When the water is about to boil or is just simmering, create a whirlpool in the water with a spoon or whisk. Gently lower the egg into the center of the whirlpool and cook for three minutes. Remove it with a slotted spoon and season with salt to taste. The result will be a runny yolk and a firm but not fully cooked white. Place it on the toast and grate the truffle over it. And voilà, a special and delicious breakfast to start Valentine's Day.
Porcini and truffle risotto
This classic Italian dish is sure to impress your partner. It's a creamy rice with a touch of black truffle that makes it even more special. You'll need 1 liter of vegetable broth, 250g of Arborio rice, butter, half a glass of white wine, an onion, a clove of garlic, Parmesan cheese, a piece of black truffle, and porcini mushrooms.
First, heat the stock. Separately, sauté the garlic and onion in butter until golden brown. Add the porcini mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the rice and mix it with the other ingredients for a few minutes, then add the wine. Once the wine has reduced, gradually add the hot stock, stirring constantly, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Grate the Parmesan cheese and mix it all together. Finally, grate the black truffle over the stew, reserving a few slivers for garnish.
Pasta carbonara with black truffle
This recipe is easy to prepare and will add a touch of elegance to your dinner. You will need your favorite pasta, one egg and two egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, diced pancetta, half an onion, and truffle.
First, boil the pasta. Meanwhile, sauté the onion in a pan, and before it browns, add the pancetta. Stir for a few minutes and set aside. Separately, whisk the eggs with the grated Parmesan cheese and a touch of pepper until you have a thick cream. Add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan. Add the cream mixture and stir everything together until the eggs are almost set. Season with salt and pepper, plate the pasta, and grate black truffle over the top.
Beef steak with truffle
If you're looking for a delicious but easy-to-make dish, this recipe is for you. You'll need a beef steak, extra virgin olive oil, coarse salt, vegetables of your choice for garnish (potatoes, carrots, onions, peppers, etc.), and of course, black truffle.
Grill a beef steak and season it with a mixture of olive oil, coarse salt, and grated truffle. Serve it with a side of your favorite grilled or roasted vegetables and an extra teaspoon of grated black truffle.
Black truffle crepes
If you'd like to finish with something sweet, you can try these filled crepes. You'll need 125g of flour, two eggs, 250ml of milk, 50g of butter plus a tablespoon, 5g of sugar, a pinch of salt, cream cheese, and black truffle.
First, melt the butter and then mix it with the milk and eggs. Next, add the sugar, flour, and salt. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and then strain the batter. Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese with the grated black truffle and set aside. In a non-stick pan, melt a tablespoon of butter and pour in some of the batter when it's hot. When it starts to set, flip it over and cook it. Repeat until all the batter is used. Fill the crepes with the cream cheese mixture and serve them with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Of course, black truffle is also perfect to accompany a dessert or sweet treat.
