28 Things before I turn 28...

EAT A TRUFFLE... Check!

Thanks to Lesley for the awesome black truffles sent to us from France!

Having gotten over the first hurdle of actually procuring some French truffles, my next challenge was sourcing the right recipe that a: was simple enough for me to master and b: did not contain mushrooms.



I know.



The man doesn't eat mushrooms, and it seemed a bit selfish to not include him in the gourmet feast I was about to produce!



So I had a look around the web for some easy recipes using truffles, and once I had removed the word chocolate from the search engines, found some nifty ideas! Truffle Mash Potatoes, Truffle Risotto, Truffle omelette's... all pretty basic recipes. I finally decided on the following though:



Truffled Devilled Eggs:


Firstly, I love devilled eggs. I feel a little shy admitting it, but I promise once you try them, you'll love them. What's not to love? Eggs? yummy. Mayonnaise? Yummy. And as it turns out: Truffles? Very yummy in devilled eggs!



And for mains, Truffle Linguine:


Pretty much what the title suggests. Linguine pasta, heaps of mozzarella,truffle oil and truffle shavings.



nom nom nom nom.......



Kisses!
