IOTD: Truffle Salt
One of my favorite stalls at the San Francisco Ferry Building is Far West Fungi. Not only do the always fascinating mushrooms: pink oysters, lobster, cauliflower mushrooms, etc., but they have amazing specialty products that just blow your senses!
On one of my many visits to this lovely stall I discovered this gem of a product – Truffle Salt. Until we discovered this fantastic salt, we would accent dishes with truffle oil as desired. But let’s face it, you don’t always WANT to add oil to a dish, but you probably DO want to have some truffle flavor. This product solves that problem perfectly! All the earthy, scented delight of truffles in an easy to use form factor that will not add fat to your dish.
I have been using this like crazy since I got it. I love it in salad dressings, on eggs, steak, potatoes, roasted vegetables. Actually I have yet to meet a dish I don’t enjoy truffle salt on. So go forth and truffle, you will thank me for it! Just try to use your opened jar within six months to ensure you really get the full flavor.
