Truffle Mania Part 3

Scallops with Truffles and Chive Oil

Kashmera and Darryl

Brussels Sprouts with Truffles

Pasta with Truffles

We were in Beverly Hills and stopped in at The Cheese Storeof Beverly Hills. They had fresh White and Black Truffles. White Truffles are super expensive (and more fragrant), Black Truffles less so. We bought several truffles (large black, small white). We decided to make a 3 course truffle dinner.

We invited Robert and Darryl over to join us. For the first course we served: Scallops with Chive Oil Sauce topped with Truffles. We split the scallops horizontally and barely seared them under the broiler. We used a home made chive oil to with the scallops. You can get the simple recipe for the chive oil from our blog of: June 4, 2011. Click the date to get the recipe.

For the 2^nd course we made Shredded Brussels Sprouts from City Cuisine by Feniger Milliken. It is a great recipe. If you want the best Brussels Sprouts try this one. You can get the recipe on our blog of: September 11, 2011. Click the date to get the recipe.

For the 3^rd course we made Pasta with Truffles.

Overall we were disappointed in the meal. It was very expensive and the truffles didn’t have the heavy nose we expected. Sometime you win and sometimes you loose! The disappointment was with the truffles definitely not the recipe for the Brussels Sprouts or the Scallops with Chive Oil. Try those recipes without the truffles.
