Black Melanosporum Truffle Salad


By Chef Umberto Bombana   

 
 

- Different varieties of salads, 20 gr. total : frisée, baby rocket, baby mache, baby chervil, shiso flowers


- 1 Fuji Japanese apple – around 500 gr.


- 12 thin slices of Jamón “Iberico de Bellota”


- 100 gr. of black “Melanosporum” truffle sliced in lamelles


- Dressing: combine olive oil, fresh orange and lemo n juice, salt and pepper


- Rock Salt

 


Compose a bed of mixed salads in a round shape, shake the dressing and pour so me drops over the salad.Slice the apple thinly and add a quarter of it each dish on top of the salad. Cover the apple with 4 slices of Jamón “Iberico de Bellota” each dish.


Place the black truffle lamelles over the ham following the original round shape and Shiso flower on top of it. Finally, add olive oil and rock salt.

To Serve: A very well composed wine that with the complexity of the truffl e in the dish brings defi nitely the pairing to an incredible dimension of aromas and fl avors. The ham is giving some juiciness to the wine and diminishes the slight Nebbiolo earthiness while the light seasoning and the Fuji apples match the wine’s natural but smooth acidity.


Many view the red wines from Barolo as Italy’s best - so much so that they’re sometimes called the “King” of Italian wines. After tasting the seductive Roberto Voerzio Barolo, I can easily understand why.

To Drink: Barolo Cerequio white 2001 - Piedmont
