We cannot really complain about the temperature: 15°C/59°F is not too bad, even for a confirmed winterphobe like myself. But where has the sunshine of Provence gone to? One more grey and rainy day and I'll seriously think about moving to sunnier places - not!
So instead of dreaming I prepared the first steps to at least have some sunshine on a plate this weekend. Christmas and New Year's Eve done and over with the price of truffles has come down. And so I found a few real pretty ones and some farmfresh eggs and put them in a preserving jar where they will now stay until sunday. By then the eggs will have absorbed the aroma of the truffles and I will prepare a "Brouillade aux Truffes" - can't wait to share the pics and the recipe with you!
How clever of you! I'm looking forward to the recipes you'll share. Too bad we (folks not in France) don't have an opportunity like that around us.
ReplyDeleteReally? I am amazed the eggs would take on the flavor. I am willing to learn more.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Susan I am amazed that the eggs will take on the flavour. Yep I am also willing to learn more. Diane
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see recipe! Wish we had truffles in Florida!!
ReplyDeleteThanks all of you - I really wish I somehow could add a sniffing function to this blog - I openend the jar this morning to check and the perfume of the truffels was devine! As eggshells are porous eggs easily take on strong odours - one reason never to store them too close to cheese or onions in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteThose truffles look wonderful. I can only imagine how good those eggs will taste. Did you buy the truffles from Thierry? Enjoy the truffles, we are all envious.
