Truffle Butter
What’s better than butter, AND better than truffles? (ok…maybe not fresh truffles).
Truffle Butter! Rich, earthy, and smooth, this stuff’s incredible melted into pasta, veggies, risotto…just about anything.
If your mouth is watering (and it should be) we’ve got great news for you: we’re giving one person a whole 8oz tub! Plus that lucky guy or gal gets to enter our Ridiculously Delicious Challenge in January!
Update: Truffle Butter-er Announced!
The random number selected was #89, Katie’s entry. Congratulations Katie!
Katie wrote that her plan for the truffle butter was to serve it with fresh cheese over homemade lemon-pepper fettuccine….which sounds pretty darn good! We can almost taste the luscious earthiness of the black truffles melting into the citrus/spice zing of tender, freshly made pasta. Mmmmm….. Put a little Parmigiano Reggiano on top and we’ll take three helpings.

November 5th, 2010 at 11:48 amI have never tried truffle butter before so I would probably just want my homemade ricotta gemelli tossed in it!
November 5th, 2010 at 11:48 amI’d have to fight the urge to use it as a moisturizer, much like I fight the urge to eat delicious smelling lotions. I’d probably end up stirring into some potatoes, though.

November 5th, 2010 at 11:51 amOh heck, I’d butter some good ol’ mashed potatoes with this. I can’t even imagine…
November 5th, 2010 at 1:01 pmI’d put the butter on a hot baked potato…yum!
November 5th, 2010 at 1:10 pmI’d probably make some fresh bread just for that. And maybe some mashed potatoes. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
November 5th, 2010 at 1:38 pmMmmm….truffle butter on popcorn!
November 5th, 2010 at 1:57 pma piece of fresh homemade bread! or melt a slab over some fresh pasta… yum
November 5th, 2010 at 2:36 pmThe first thing I would butter is a spoon…I would want to taste the truffle butter, sans anything, to savor it completely by it’s self….then I would make a roasted portobello mushroom sandwich on crusty bread, slathered with the yummy, black goodness and wash it all down with a crisp white wine. YUM! Yes, my mouth is watering!!
November 5th, 2010 at 6:40 pmOhMeOhMy…I’d probably give Ina Garten’s Tagliarelle with Truffle Butter a try. Yummmm. Hope I win!
November 5th, 2010 at 8:25 pmI believe stirring your truffle butter into risotto and then serving with a sliver of fresh truffle on top would be my idea of heaven! I can smell it already – Yum!
November 5th, 2010 at 8:38 pmi’d let my wife decide……….
November 6th, 2010 at 3:04 amI would caramelize onions in it to make a french onion soup.
November 6th, 2010 at 3:43 pmI would butter a nice thick toasted piece of sourdough bread
November 7th, 2010 at 6:07 pmblack truffle butter on fresh vegetables!
November 8th, 2010 at 8:46 amblack truffle butter on scrambled eggs with chives!
November 8th, 2010 at 8:47 amSome broccoli perhaps, or a grilled chicken breast.
November 8th, 2010 at 11:59 amMashed potatoes, definitely!
November 8th, 2010 at 12:04 pmThe first thing I’d butter would be my right index finger. I trust this butter will be finger-lickin’ good.
November 8th, 2010 at 2:25 pmOooh truffle butter in mashed potatoes would be amazing!
November 8th, 2010 at 2:28 pmMake some fresh pasta stuffed with mushrooms, and finish them off in a pan with the black butter.
November 8th, 2010 at 2:29 pma nice filet mignon would be first on my list!
November 8th, 2010 at 2:29 pmWell, a dab behind my ears might be interesting but I’m more likely to put it under the skin of a roast chicken or into mashed potatoes.
November 8th, 2010 at 2:38 pmscones
November 8th, 2010 at 2:45 pmI absolutely love truffle butter on freshly made pasta that’s had a very slight squeeze of lemon. Simple, clean flavors but ooh so memorable.
November 8th, 2010 at 2:46 pmMy husband and I both like buttered noodles, so noodles would be the first thing I would try it on.
November 8th, 2010 at 3:00 pmAside from wanting to just spread it on myself (I’m a sucker for anything truffle…) I would spread some on a slice of really good bread. It would also be delicious melted and put on air popped popcorn!

November 8th, 2010 at 3:08 pmOn my poached eggs on biscuits
November 8th, 2010 at 3:49 pmI would butter some mashed potatoes, lightly seasoned with fresh herbs. Mmmmmm!!! Or else my homemade bread. Double Mmmmmmm!!!
November 8th, 2010 at 3:50 pmTruffles sure have everyones attention. Sounds like we should have a party,of course with truffles. Sue
November 8th, 2010 at 3:56 pmThat is a hard choice, but I think I’d have to pick a steak!
November 8th, 2010 at 5:05 pmToast.
November 8th, 2010 at 5:28 pmI would butter a Turkey! Slip the butter under the skin (entire Turkey). Use drippings (skim of fat) with some shallots, wine, flour, extra turkey stock, seasonings, etc…and make a gravy for your truffle buttered mashed fingerling potatoes. There is so much you could use this for!
November 8th, 2010 at 7:22 pmI Love to be the lucky winner !
November 8th, 2010 at 8:30 pmI would melt it into hot spaghetti noodles and then top it with some fresh grated Parmesan.
November 8th, 2010 at 8:42 pmWhat’s the first thing I’d butter? My tongue, because I’ve never had the joy of tasting truffles.
November 8th, 2010 at 9:17 pmOh, I would absolutely use it with fresh pasta and fresh vegetables for a lovely entree.
November 8th, 2010 at 9:52 pmSEASON A 2 INCH T BONE STEAK WITH OLIVE OIL SALT AND PEPPER REMOVE AT MEDIUM RARE PUT ON BLACK TRUFFLE BUTTER THEN SPRINKLE WITH REAL BLUE CHEESE…LET SIT 5 MINUTES AND MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
November 8th, 2010 at 10:50 pmBaked potato with salmon. I love both with butter and lots of it.
November 8th, 2010 at 10:57 pmThe FIRST thing I’d butter is my tongue! Truffle butter sounds like it would be wickedly decadent. The logical thing to pair this with would be a roasted pork loin, since truffle pigs LOVE truffles! I’d drizzle the compound over the roast.
November 9th, 2010 at 3:26 amI’d butter a steak.

November 9th, 2010 at 7:53 amYummy!!
November 9th, 2010 at 10:14 amTruffle butter over hot pasta is all I need!
November 9th, 2010 at 11:05 amI’d probably just start eating it with my fingers while laughing in the corner, my precious.
November 9th, 2010 at 12:27 pmOh! I am sure I can find may ways to use this butter, but the first qwld be to slap it on a beautiful piece of country bread and devouring it as I am thinking of what to mame next….
November 9th, 2010 at 3:48 pmwhat I meant of #54 was ..would be to slap…..
and at end…make next.
November 9th, 2010 at 3:52 pmi’d like to butter a grilled cheese sandwich and pair it with homemade tomato soup!
November 9th, 2010 at 5:55 pmI’d definitely make risotto with truffle oil, and stir in some truffle butter at the end with a little Parmesan. Yummmm
November 9th, 2010 at 6:44 pmEither fingerling potatoes or a baked potato
November 9th, 2010 at 7:17 pmThe first thing I’ll butter is a big juicy steak! Then, I’ll butter the freshly baked soft rolls.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:34 pmI would relive my childhood and have pastina with butter only this time it would be the truffle butter. Next would be a little on everything I eat and try to make it last longer.

November 10th, 2010 at 4:21 amThe first thing I’d butter would be popcorn.
Sounds weird, but truffle oil + popcorn is delicious…so truffle BUTTER would be even more so, no?
November 10th, 2010 at 6:50 amHard choice…pasta w/wild mushroom cream sauce would be even more decadent, then popcorn with truffle butter for dessert!
November 10th, 2010 at 8:26 amHeh – the first thing I’d do with it is stick my finger in it and taste all of the pure truffley butteryness without interference. Then, I’d probably make a pizza with it slathered all over the crust.
November 10th, 2010 at 8:34 amhttp://www.facebook.com/Gastronomica#!/GourmetWineaux
November 10th, 2010 at 8:35 amThere are many things I’d end up using it on, but the first thing would most likely be an everything bagel.
November 10th, 2010 at 1:05 pmRealistically, probably my finger, so I could take a quick taste.
Then, I’d eat it with baguette. Then, I’d eat it with lobster or king crab….or both!
November 10th, 2010 at 2:01 pmI’d put them in my panko potato pancakes, see them here: http://zestybeandog.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/prosciutto-wrapped-quail-breast-crostini-with-cipollini-collard-greens-and-panko-potato-cakes/

Crusty French bread.
November 10th, 2010 at 5:16 pmI would butter my husband in interesting places and have a little snack.
November 10th, 2010 at 5:41 pmI would butter some freshly made pasta. Mmmmm . . .
November 10th, 2010 at 6:04 pmThe first thing i would butter would be my FINGER and just lick it off lol
November 10th, 2010 at 7:37 pmTruffle butter tossed with linguine, tomatoes and basil. Delish.
November 11th, 2010 at 6:33 amI have never used truffle butter or truffles before so I think I would pretty much put it on and in everything. I will definitely experiment with sweet and savory dishes.
November 11th, 2010 at 1:37 pmFresh homemade pasta!
November 11th, 2010 at 2:38 pmOn top of home made gnocchi.
November 12th, 2010 at 10:54 amAnd I shared this on FB
November 12th, 2010 at 10:56 amI would just slather some french bread and go to town!
November 12th, 2010 at 11:09 amI would love to use this in my homemade mashed potatoes for Christmas!
November 13th, 2010 at 12:03 pmI would make the most decadent snack ever-popcorn with black truffle butter and parmesan cheese!
November 14th, 2010 at 5:49 pmMy finger. Then probably some roasted fingerling potatoes.
November 14th, 2010 at 6:18 pmOMG I can’t decide..either fish, veggies or noodles! Decisions, decisions, decisions
November 14th, 2010 at 6:51 pmProbably on fresh pasta or melted over a freshly cooked fillet of beef
November 15th, 2010 at 8:37 amJust put it on fresh baked, no-knead bread. Some times simple is best.
November 15th, 2010 at 8:46 amI posted a tweet: http://twitter.com/funkyfauna
November 15th, 2010 at 8:57 amThe first thing I would truffle butter… hmmm, a nice lean steak.
November 15th, 2010 at 10:21 amI would make some homemade lemon-pepper fettucine and serve it with a bit of better and fresh cheese…
November 15th, 2010 at 7:28 pmhttp://twitter.com/kmo418/status/4359450026577920
