Equipment

1 Truffle slicer with rounded teeth as opposed to pointed.
1 8 oz glass mason jar with non-reactive lid

Ingredients

1 oz Fresh truffles white or black truffles or any other truffle variety
1 gram Kosher salt
4 oz Grapeseed oil

Instructions

Salting and Preserving

Slice the truffles and put them in the jar, sprinkling in the salt as you go. If you want to be particular, ⅛th inch or on the thicker side is great, but they can be paper thin too.
Pour the oil over the truffles, screw on the lid and put them in the fridge. Stir them with a clean spoon once in a while to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
The truffle slices will last for at least a month and will keep a great flavor in the fridge.

Using the Slices in Cooking

Add the truffles and their oil to dishes where fresh truffles would be used, at the end of cooking as a condiment. For example, you could set a jar out on the table and let guests spoon truffles over a bowl of buttered noodles, scallops cheese or a steak.

Notes

A grade truffles (the largest and most fragrant) will be great in this recipe, but it's also the perfect place to use cheaper B grade truffles and scraps.
