Truffle Mayonnaise

For many, truffles are the epitome of luxury in the kitchen – intense, earthy, elegant. But why not enjoy them at home in a simple way? This homemade truffle mayonnaise takes just a few minutes to prepare, requires only a few ingredients and goes perfectly with crispy chips, sandwiches or grilled vegetables.

What’s particularly nice is that I collect Burgundy truffles together with my dog Fiorella. Truffle hunting is our favourite hobby – and the season really gets going again in autumn.

Ingredients for truffle mayonnaise

• Organic eggs – provide the basis for a stable mayonnaise and ensure the best flavour. Important: only process at room temperature.
• Organic rapeseed oil – a mild oil that gives the mayonnaise a creamy consistency without masking the delicate truffle aroma.
• White wine vinegar – stabilises the emulsion and helps to prolong its shelf life.
• Fleur de sel from the Camargue and freshly ground black pepper – for a refined base seasoning that perfectly brings out the flavour of the truffles.
• Burgundy truffles – freshly grated, earthy and aromatic, the heart of the mayonnaise.
• Organic butter – truffle flavour dissolves better in animal fats. It is lipophilic.

Preparation

1. Mix the egg yolks and
   oil Separate two eggs and place the yolks in a tall container. Whisk with 300 ml rapeseed oil to form a creamy mayonnaise.
2. Seasoning Add half
   a tablespoon of white wine vinegar, season with fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper.
3. Process and add
   the truffles Grate the Burgundy truffle into warm butter, heat gently to a maximum of 60 degrees and fold the mixture into the mayonnaise.

Tips

• Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature – this will guarantee that the mayonnaise turns out perfectly.
• The mayonnaise will keep for about 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• You can get fresh Burgundy truffles seasonally at markets or in delicatessens.
