Bold and earthy! This description fits Black Truffle Salt very well! It’s absolutely natural and isn’t flavoring artificially at all. Natural, that is, until you add it to your next meal.
A rich, hearty snack or high heat cooking companion, the high heat of the stove can quickly burn out your taste buds, so it’s a good idea to reserve this salty treat for after dinner. Just add a dash of your favorite flavor (we suggest popcorn) and enjoy. For best results, let your black truffle salt recipes with butter come to a gentle boil before adding to the pan. If you’re using the popcorn method, watch closely, as the butter may scorch.
A quick, no fuss addition, drizzling black truffle salt over your baked potatoes works great. You can even sprinkle it over your fried potatoes. It goes great on eggs and sausages, too. Make it a part of your breakfast routine and sprinkle some over your pancakes, omelets and waffles. It’ll really kick start your morning.
Prepared pasta is one way to get more from your regular salt. By mixing a tiny amount of black truffle salt with olive oil and your pasta (ificenetto or otherwise), you can make a light and easy creamy sauce to top your baked potatoes. If you’re not cooking tonight, substitute your pasta sauce for a zesty Alfredo sauce instead.
Another idea for using summer black truffle salt in your kitchen is to cook your own pasta. This is easy. All you need is a large pot, a little bit of olive oil, chopped onion, and about four cups of pasta. Bring the pot to a gentle boil, add your onions, and let it simmer for about ten minutes. Uncover your pasta after about five minutes and add your choice of spices (I like oregano and red pepper flakes).
As you can see, there are so many possibilities with black truffles. There are practically limitless possibilities, actually. The key is to experiment. The trick to using this particular salt in your recipes is to experiment with different flavors until you find the one that suits your taste best.
Since these are so popular right now, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you started seeing grocery store shelves packed with these tasty little salts. Keep in mind though that while they may taste great, they also have a tendency to burn extremely easily. If they start to go out, get some more. I wouldn’t go out of my way to spend too much money on these beauties, but these salts are definitely a keeper!
One of my favorite uses for black truffle salt is in my classic baked potato recipe. It’s an awesome combination. First of all, it adds an incredibly rich flavor to your potatoes, and also keeps them from being dry and crisp on the outside. Black truffle salt also helps them come out just the right shade of golden brown, which is what makes these recipes so much fun. You can even use the salt to add color to your scrambled eggs!
These little earthy flavor additions can be used in a lot of recipes as well. For example, you can use these salts in place of regular salt in many savory dishes. From lasagna to omelets, there are plenty of ways that you can incorporate these earthy flavors into your cooking. So, make sure to buy some black truffle mushrooms next time you go shopping.
