I'm in love...a truffle oil review

[Fire it up]

I did not care for the Roland brand myself, it has a strange aftertaste imho.

That's actually sort of my complaint about the other oil I showed in the post but didn't really get into it but I felt it had a really strong initial chemical taste to it.

Oh! Risotto too!

How could I have forgotten to mention risotto? Truffle risotto, says it best!

I don't know how they do it, maybe a drizzle on the fries? Maybe they use the truffle salt? Now I gotta know.

I have tossed fries in some truffle oil and salt and they were great but not sure how they do theirs.
Have been meaning to try this recipe out cause it looks really good...

Anyone makes a batch of those please post about it.

One thing I should mention for any of those who do decide to try the oil or the salt. Tomato dishes (especially cooked things like red sauce) and truffle don't generally work.
Not that it is bad to use on them but for some reason tomato dishes have a tendency to cancel out the flavor of the truffle.

to my taste buds it seems tomato dishes do that to cumin so i go extra heavy on the cumin when i do my steak ranchero.
