Truffle paste

Chef Timur Ismailov shared the recipe with us.

This recipe is attributed to Mother Poulard, the owner of a French hotel. It's like an omelette, but a very special and elegant one: fluffy, like a snow cap, the white is placed between two thin pancakes , fried from the yolk. Alexander Bogdanov, brand chef of the Cafe Claret restaurant, adds a heap of porcini mushrooms fried in butter and a spoonful of truffle paste, which makes the mushroom aroma shamelessly bright. The best breakfast to drag yourself out of bed on a gloomy autumn morning.

This is a tribute to the Mayan tradition of planting pumpkin, beans and corn together. In this recipe, we add blanched green peas to a green salad mix, season it all with truffle sour cream - just combine regular sour cream with truffle paste from a jar. Next comes sweet crispy pumpkin, breaded and deep-fried. And then come corn kernels, seared with a blowtorch or fried in a dry frying pan. Serve the salad with nachos - they enhance this Mexican spirit. Recipe by Dmitry Kishov, chef of the Tacobar restaurant.
