Truffle butter adds immediate luxury to any dish without requiring culinary school skills. Most specialty shops charge a premium for this simple combination, but making it at home takes just minutes and provides better flavour. The process is straightforward with just softened butter and chopped truffle, yet the results are impressive. Keep a roll in the freezer for those moments when an ordinary meal needs a quick upgrade to something special.

Serves

12-15 servings

Ingredients

  • 250g salted butter, softened
  • 25g preserved truffle
  • Salt to taste (optional, as the butter is already salted)

Storage Options

  1. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
  2. Pipe the truffle butter onto a piece of plastic wrap/cling film in a line.
  3. Roll the plastic wrap to form a cylinder of truffle butter.
  4. Refrigerate until firm, or freeze for longer storage.
  5. When ready to use, remove from the freezer and allow to come to room temperature slowly.
  6. Once firm, slice into attractive rings for serving.

Method

Preparing the Truffle

  • Drain the preserved truffle thoroughly.
  • Chop the truffle into small, uneven bits for maximum flavor distribution.
  • A fork works perfectly for this task – use it to break apart the truffle into irregular pieces.

Making the Truffle Butter

  • Start with softened salted butter (let it sit at room temperature until malleable).
  • Add the chopped truffle to the butter.
  • Gently mix together with a wooden spoon, being careful not to over-mix.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed, though the salted butter usually provides enough seasoning.
