There is a treatment for these seemingly never ending rainy and overcast days… of course, food!

Today, Keith and I procured a joint effort breakfast. He made the hashbrowns and I made the hollandaise sauce for our version of Eggs Benedict.

Hollandaise Sauce is incredibly easy.

Ingredients:

• 4 Egg yolks
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter i.e. 1 stick of unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (Optional)

Place the egg yolks and lemon juice into a double broiler, or a metal bowl atop boiling water. Quickly whisk the mixture over the boiling water. Taking the bowl away from the heat occasionally, something I like to call, teasing. Gently tease the mixture until it nearly doubles in volume, becomes a thicker lighter yellow color. Next add the melted butter in slowly. This step closely resembles that of a vinaigrette. Continue this until the melted butter runs out. Add salt to taste, and for that traditional hollandaise kick, add about 1 tsp dijon mustard, or even better, truffle infused mustard!

Hungry plates.

Enjoy experimenting with hollandaise variations. I’ll be attempting hollandaise with Sriracha hot sauce soon.

YUM!

To give you a little background, truffles are amazing. The taste of a truffle is so distinct and aromatic, I find them irresistible. I turned my boyfriend on to the concept with some infused truffle oil. Mixed with eggs, potatoes…  mixed with olive oil for some dipping. Oy! My hunger is spiking.

Erick got us hooked on hunting for truffles. He taught us what ecosystems produce the most abundant truffles. He warned us to be cautious because truffle hunting is a lucrative source of income, and people get territorial about their spots, even if they are on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. We had a great time and collected nearly 2 pounds of black and white truffles.

I prepared clarified black truffle butter and clarified white truffle oil. Many of the resources I found recommended that you freeze whole, cleaned truffles in unsalted butter, which I intend to use during the holidays when I’m stuffing my turkey. I just watched an episode of  Chuck’s Day Off in which Chuck made his coworkers Turducken with a whole truffle stuffed inside of the the bird(s). Something I will be looking forward to this November/December.

What do ripe truffles smell like?

Black truffles. Ripe Black truffles smell of sweet pineapple, while there will be a putrid smell coming from black truffles that are past maturity. Unripened truffles do not bare an aroma.

White truffles. Ripe white truffles smell of musk and garlic, while a truffle past or prior to maturity will not smell at all, or take the smell of a mushroom.

Black Truffle Butter
I made the clarified truffle butter with the Oregon black truffles. By melting a package of unsalted butter and adding chopped black truffles to the warmed butter I left the butter on simmer for about 10 minutes and let it sit for another 10 minutes. I made sure to strain the chopped truffles from the butter before I packaged the end product… which I should mention is AMAZING!

White Truffle Oil
Olive oil seemed like it would have an overpowering flavor, so I chose to make the white truffle oil with a high quality Grapeseed oil. I probably only had 2 ounces of the white truffles that hadn’t already gone bad. After a light boil and simmer, and a straining of the chopped truffles, the end product was a more cloudy oil that didn’t take the taste of the white truffles I had eagerly anticipated.

If you haven’t already tried a truffle, go out and get yourself some infused oil or the next time you’re at a restaurant and see a meal that has truffle in the description… order it!

Sulfur dioxide particles that are released during a volcanic eruption can temporarily cool the planet by reflecting solar radiation into space and thereby limiting radiation from the sun that reaches the Earth’s surface.  There is a possibility that the eruption won’t have an effect on global cooling due to the high elevation of the volcano.  There is notable evidence involving air circulation in the upper atmosphere where high latitudes tend to be more efficient at getting rid of volcanic material.  So we must wait and see.
