Fresh black Burgundy truffles (Tuber Uncinatum) are in season from late-Sept through November. Not as pungent as the winter truffle (Tuber melanosporum), they still have a lot of flavor with a much smaller price tag. If you have avoided buying truffles because of the expense, you may wish to try the burgundy truffle.
Since the burgundy truffle has a more delicate flavor, it shouldn't be used in dishes that are cooked. Like good extra-virgin olive oil, the heat will destroy the flavor. Instead, shave thin slices of the truffle onto dishes to finish them. A little goes a long way!
Recommended uses: Toss with pasta; stir into a finished risotto dish; mix with olive oil to top bruschetta; fold into mashed potatoes; add to a butter sauce to finish fish,seafood, or chicken; shave over scrambled eggs or an omelet.
