5 truffle recipes to surprise this Christmas.
With Christmas just around the corner, the question that arises every year arises: what am I going to surprise my guests with? At Biribox we have the answer... and this is without a doubt truffle! A noble and very Christmassy product that enhances all dishes and will make you the best host this Christmas.
Natural truffles are traditionally expensive and not always available as they are a seasonal product, but there are other, much more convenient and economical options for adding truffles to your dishes without losing any of their delicious flavour and quality. For example, a touch of truffle seasoning or a few drops of a good truffle oil can make all the difference in your dishes and turn them into gourmet treats.
If you want to give greater prominence to the bold flavour and aroma of truffle, we suggest the Tartufi Jimmy truffle and mushroom sauce or paste . It has a dark colour and a smooth texture that allows you to better enjoy all the peculiarities of the product and give a special touch to starters and appetizers to main dishes of poultry or meat.
Keep an eye on the white truffle and cheese sauce , with just one spoonful of this delicate sauce, you will achieve an impressive flavor in almost any savory dish. A unique gourmet gift that will surprise any cooking lover.
It was difficult for us to choose between so many recipes made with truffles because we like them all!
Here you have an easy and very inexpensive appetizer and starter, a side dish as traditional as truffled mashed potatoes in the style of French chef Joël Robuchon, a fish and finally a spectacular sauce to accompany your meat dishes.

Truffled purée Robuchon style. A culinary gem from France.
For this preparation, the best ratte potatoes are selected, which, once cooked, are passed through a food mill and butter previously dissolved in a little milk is added. After stirring constantly, the result should be a very fine puree.
Add to the puree with a drizzle of black truffle oil or a touch of truffle seasoning
Truffle sauce. Ennoble your meat dishes.
It is a very simple sauce to prepare that perfectly combines the combination of soft and intense, sweet and salty flavors.
Truffle sauce is the masterpiece of accompaniments.
Ingredients
1 glass of dry sherry
1 glass of meat broth
1 dessert spoon of corn flour
20 gr of butter
1 specimen of black truffle
Salt and pepper
Elaboration:
Prepare the sauce in the same pan where the meat was marked, this way we take advantage of all the juices.
We pour the wine into the pan and evaporate over high heat, combining the juice well.
Once the alcohol has evaporated, add the meat broth and wait for it to reduce.
In a glass with a little water, dilute the corn flour and add it to the sauce, stirring constantly.
Two tablespoons of truffle and mushroom sauce , to which we add the butter so that it binds well.
