Truffle Butter Recipe
Description
This Truffle Butter Recipe uses softened unsalted butter combined with a small amount of truffle pâté that contains minimal oil. The butter is mashed with the pâté to evenly incorporate the truffle essence. Salt is added gradually to taste, using fine sea salt for even seasoning.
Allowing the mixture to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes helps the butter absorb the truffle flavor fully, enhancing its richness and aroma. After resting, the truffle butter should be covered and refrigerated, where it can be stored for up to 7 days.
The final butter is versatile as a spread on breads or a finishing addition to cooked meats, vegetables, or pasta. It adds a subtle but distinctive truffle character without overwhelming the dish.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature, unsalted
- 2 teaspoons truffle pâté , with as little oil as possible
- 1/2 -1 teaspoon salt to taste, fine sea salt
