What To Do With Black SummerTruffles
If you are lucky enough to have come upon black summer truffles while they are fresh and in season, you might be wondering how to best make use of them. Most chefs will agree that simplicity is key. Here are some of our favorite ways to incorporate truffles into dishes.
Easy Wild Mushroom and Truffle Stroganoff

Black Truffle and Potato Gratin
We've kicked classic potato gratin up with truffle and black pepper—using thinly sliced potatoes, layering them in a baking dish, covering with truffle and pepper-infused cream, and baking until golden brown and bubbly. You're going to love this classic potato dish!
Rose Petal Ras el Hanout Spice Mix
Ras el Hanout is a Moroccan spice mix that refers to "the best spice mix a shopkeeper has to offer". As such, no two Ras el Hanout blends are the same. Though, they do tend to incorporate the base ingredients. Just wait until you find out the secret ingredient in ours!
Mini Onion Tarte Tatin with Truffles and Comté Sauce
We have exchanged the fruit in Tarte Tatins with onions and truffles to produce a beautifully rustic delight—Petit Onion Tarts with Black Truffles, Smoked Sea Salt, and Comté Sauce. They are perfect for an appetizer, a welcome accompaniment to a cheese course, or as a snack.
Japanese Green Tea Rice
Ochazuke is a Japanese comfort food commonly enjoyed as a snack rather than a meal. It is traditionally made with green tea and can be as simple as pouring the hot beverage over rice or made more complex with the addition of a wide array of toppings liked smoked salmon, nori, and pickled vegetables.
