Recently, I’ve started a recipe column in a local newspaper on behalf of a local supermarket. I’m constantly on the lookout for new ideas, and incorporating new and bold flavors. Truffle oil is one of my absolute favorites! This recipe definitely highlights the truffle oil as it makes such a difference! the feedback I got from my taste testers was “this is missing on every restaurant menu”! Though there is quite a bit of preparation involved it is definitely the dish needed by every dairy party!
