Equipment

▢
1 Large mixing bowl

Ingredients

▢ 1 stick good quality, unsalted butter (Roughly 115g - see note 1)
▢ 0.4 oz freshly grated black truffle (10-12g - see note 2)
▢ ¼ tsp salt (optional)

Instructions

Soften the butter by leaving it to sit in a bowl on the bench for 30-minutes to an hour.
Add the salt, then grate the truffle straight over the top.
Mix well to ensure the truffle is evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Put the butter back in the fridge for 45 mins to an hour to firm up slightly. This will make it much easier to shape back into a block or a log. If you're keeping it pressed in a small dish you can do this straight away then place in the fridge.
If shaping into a block or log - remove the butter from the fridge and shape as you wish. I used butter pats to shape mine back into a block. You can also roll it into a log in baking paper and store it that way.
Store in the fridge. This will keep its lovely truffle flavour for a good couple of months.

Notes

1) I have specified using unsalted butter here however, if you'd like to use salted butter - adjust the amount to your taste or leave it out completely.

2) Fresh truffle is an expensive ingredients so if you don't want to use this much of yours, you have two options: 1) you can halve the recipe or 2) you can add less to the butter. That said, I've found through experimenting that this is the best ratio of truffle to butter to ensure you get that perfect mix of flavors.
