Recipe Creation: "Truffalo" Wings + Truffle Ranch Sauce




These were inspired by a wings competition (and yes, they did win a trophy) and now I make them on a regular basis.  I mean, what could be better than truffle chicken wings with three kinds of truffle? Especially when you can call them Truffalo Wings! Leave it to me to add a little class to football season ; )

Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • l lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 tbsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp truffle salt
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup grated truffle pecorino
  • 1 tbsp black truffle oil
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 500 degree F and line a large baking sheet with tin foil.
-Toss the wings with the lemon juice in a large bowl.
-Then add the garlic powder, ground pepper, truffle salt, thyme, and cayenne.
-Next add the melted butter and stir thoroughly so the seasoning is evenly distributed.
-Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and rotate the sheet.
-Bake for another 10 minutes, or until wings are browned and cooked through.
-Remove from oven and top with truffle pecorino.
-Whisk the ranch dressing with 1 tbsp truffle oil.
-Enjoy immediately and serve with the truffle ranch dipping sauce.

Recipe (Re)creation: Manchego + Rosemary Flatbread



This recipe is shockingly easy.  It is the perfect nibble for a cocktail party and it will disappear in minutes. I always think I'm making a lot of them, and then wish I had made more.  They are that good, and that easy.  The key is that you use tortillas for the crust (shhhhh! It's a secret).  Bake them in a hot oven, and "Voila," they are ready for feasting.  Sprinkle with truffle salt for a little extra flair.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 Large Tortillas (white or whole wheat)
Shredded Manchego cheese
Truffle salt (optional)
Rosemary sprigs
Olive Oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
Brush tortillas with a little bit of olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
Top with grated manchego cheese and a few leaves of rosemary.
Bake for 3-4 minutes, watching closely.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with truffle salt, cut into wedges.
Serve immediately.
