How to:

Make clarified butter (ghee)

For clarified butter (ghee), slowly melt unsalted butter over low heat. Don't let the butter come to a boil, and don't stir it. This allows the milk solids to separate from the liquid butter.

Once the butter has separated into three layers, there will be foamy milk solids on top, clarified butter in the middle, and milk solids on the bottom. Turn off the heat and skim the foamy white solids from the top. Then ladle off the clarified butter. Be careful not to disturb the milk solids at the bottom of the pan.

Clarified butter can be used immediately. Or, let it solidify and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three to four weeks. Just remelt to use. One pound of unsalted butter yields 1-1/4 cups clarified butter.

Ingredients:
1 kg fresh or frozen Kalahari truffles
150 g butter
a handful of parsley, finely chopped
4 T double cream
1 1/2 T meat glaze or yeast extract
Maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking instructions:

If using fresh mushrooms, carefully rinse first under running water.

Peel each mushroom using a potato peeler and rinse well a second time (frozen mushrooms will be pre-cleaned).

In a large saucepan over a medium to low heat, heat the butter, then sauté the mushrooms for 2 to 3 minutes.

TASTE’s take:

A rare delicacy, Kalahari, or desert, truffles (Terfezia pfeilii) have a flavour somewhere between corn and asparagus with a light mushroom perfume.
