Beef tenderloin, fried mushrooms, truffle mayonnaise and hazelnuts – by Teresa Välimäki
Beef and truffles, the unbeatable combination
This recipe is a continuation of an earlier recipe for Truffle Marinated Burrata and Tomato Salad with Truffle Pearls, which Teresa Välimäki created for Alpen Edelweiß after receiving a “mystery box” product package from us. Our summer theme has been delicious dinners at the summer cottage, where you have time and the best possible environment to enjoy good food. Teresa took up the challenge and created a fabulous meal with our selection of truffle mayonnaise, preserved truffles, hazelnuts and truffle pearls. In this recipe Teresa has used Tartuflanghe truffle mayonnaise, hazelnuts and Tartuflanghe Perlage truffle pearls. The recipe can be found at the end of the article.
