Potato and Black Truffle Omelette Recipe This recipe has no mysteries, since you will cook the black truffle omelette just as if you were making a traditional potato omelette. The detail is that you will start preparing it a few days before, to ensure that the eggs take on the characteristic aroma of the black truffle. This will be the great differential of this dish! Ingredients: Eggs: 6 units. Potatoes: 4 units. Fresh black truffle: 1 to grate Mushrooms: 150 gr. Olive oil: 1 tablespoon Salt to taste Preparation: Two or three days before preparing your omelette, keep the black truffle in a container with a lid (a “tape”) next to the eggs. Every day you should open the container for a few minutes so that the truffle breathes. When it’s time to prepare your omelette, start frying the potatoes cut into thin slices. Next, mix the fried potatoes with the beaten eggs and previously flavored with the truffle. If you want, you can add a little more grated black truffle to enhance its flavor. Put the whole to the point of salt. Let your tortilla set and acquire the texture that you like best. Finally, just serve it with a touch of truffle zest on top. Recipe for Chicken in wine with Black Truffle Ingredients: Chopped chicken: 1Fresh black truffle for grating Tomatoes: 4 units. Onion: 1 pc. White wine: ½ glass Olive oil. 2 tablespoons Flour: 1 tablespoon Salt and black pepper to taste Preparation: We start with the vegetables. First, we peel and cut the onion into thin strips. Afterwards, we wash the tomatoes, remove the skin and the seeds, and cut into not very small pieces. In a pot, heat the oil and sauté the onion and tomatoes. When they are ready, add the chopped chicken and wait for it to brown. When the chicken pieces are golden brown, we pour the white wine and add some slices of truffles. Halfway through cooking, season and let the preparation cook until the chicken is tender. At the end of cooking, remove the chicken pieces and serve on a tray. In a separate glass, place the tablespoon of flour and a few tablespoons of the chicken sauce with black truffle. We stir well to avoid lumps from forming. Next, we pour this mixture into the rest of the sauce in the pot. We stir and wait until it has thickened (it will not take more than one or two minutes). We put to the point of salt. Lastly, we pour the thick sauce over the chicken on the serving tray. And voila, enjoy this delicacy!
