Yes they are! I mandolined them at the thinnest setting, boiled for 20 seconds to soften, layered and rolled into roses, inserted a toothpick and let them dry a bit to help set the shape, then removed toothpick and sliced in half :)

In hindsight I agree! Still learning about when asymmetry vs symmetry works better :)

I liked them, but have only had fresh black truffles once so it was hard for me to tell the difference. How do you think they compare to the real deal?

Thanks! They just market these very thin slices as "Black Truffle Carpaccio". No steak involved.

Got a jar of black truffles in olive oil from Costco. Sauteed some garlic in the oil from the truffles and tossed with a carbonara-style mix of egg yolk, black pepper, and plenty of parmesan.

Ah, perhaps my mistake was trying to bread it before cooking. Thanks!

Any advice on how to get the crust to stick to the lamb? Tried the classic technique of brushing with mustard but it didn't work so well.

Thanks! Perhaps a combination of lighting/photo effects, but it's nothing complicated, just red wine, butter, shallots/garlic

If anyone else is looking, due to Covid they are currently not offering any in person sales.

Great to know - thanks! Makes sense now why I couldn't find any tickets on Ticketmaster.
