Truffle Chips with Tetsuya’s Truffle Salt

I have used truffle chips on one of my menu’s before, last time I used the Truffle oil to add flavor, but since I have come across this Truffle Salt from Tetsuya my truffle oil has retired, well for this use anyway.

Truffle salt is salt with truffle through it. It comes in a 100gram glass jar with silver wrapping. Not cheap at $ 19.00 but it does go a long way as you only need a little. Use in place of normal salt, not as well as salt.

When you sprinkle it on something warm you really get a strong aroma.

It brings back memories of the alba truffles(white) and the black truffles that we used to clean with a toothbrush over newspaper so as not to lose any of the dirt that may contain some truffle that accidentally comes away. We then stored the clean truffle in arborio rice for later use as truffle risotto. I can smell them now.mmmm.
Check it out if you can you wont be disappointed.

For my truffle chips, I fry some shoestring chips to golden and crisp then shake off all the oil and let drain quickly. Now sprinkle a tiny pinch of the Truffle salt over and serve imeadiatly. Enjoy :-
