Biscuits, Slices and Brownies

DH and I were doing the F&V shopping today and they had a sign saying they now have black truffles (not talking the choc kind here! ). I won't freak you out with the price but DH did mention that he would LOVE to try some and I'm thinking of getting a little to treat him. But I don't know how to cook it or what to do with it... I'm not willing to buy any until I have some sort of an idea!!!! Anyone know how to cook with them or what to do with them???

Are they the Australian ones? I remember seeing a story on his Australian guy whos growing really good truffles!

Cant help you out with any recipies, will ask DH, his cousin is a chef and I know he has cooked them before.

Ooooh - thanks Rayray!!! I think they were Russian? I think the sign said "Black Russian Truffles" but I'm not entirely sure... I'm still amazed that they had them!

They sound great Elli and Cailin! Do you by any chance have a receipe I can use? At the price of those truffles I wouldn't want to muck it up! Haha

Yep I have a recipe, I'll post. Also if you get truffles make sure you get a truffle shaver or a mandolin to slice the truffles because they are quite potent and you don't want big chunks. You could finely chop it but I find the fine slivers are nicer. Truffles have the texture of a walnut but the flavour of nutty parmesan flavoured mushroom.

Thanks for that tip Cailin!!! I do have a mandolin in the cupboard! DH will love it!
