At the end of the Asti trip, we also dropped by the local porcini reseller to buy some porcini.
Now that we have secured our 'strategic resources', we have to use them to the full potentials!

Black and white truffles, with our new truffle shaver.
Beautiful porcini!
And a whole basket full of them!
Our wine for the night.
What do you make with a white truffle, a black truffle and a basket full of the highest quality of porcini?? Luckily, the 'resident chef' (our B&B host) has already got ideas.
Mr Chef preparing the porcini.
They are absolutely beautiful! Firm and white in the centre. No signs of drying out.
You are only supposed to clean the truffles right before it is added.
So what were our chef's creations?

Porcini and Truffle Risotto.
Grilled Porcini to go with the Turkey Saltimboca. We forgot to take a photo of the turkey because we were so busy with the mushrooms and wine! :P Photo curtesy of Bella Baita
The meal was wonderful and so was the company! I think we should do this more often! hahaha
