Recipe Notes
Truffle Mac and Cheese Storage Instructions
To store, place in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 6 months; both held in an airtight container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Truffle Mac and Cheese Reheating Instructions
To reheat, place in the oven set at 180.c – 350.f and heat for 10-12 minutes or until hot in the centre and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, reheat in the microwave, doing so in batches.
Truffle Oil Information
Extra virgin truffle oil is cheap and readily available at local supermarkets and grocery stores. It usually comes in 250ml or 500ml bottles and will last a very long time. It’s great to drizzle and finish most pasta, pizzas, steaks and vegetables, giving them a rich, umami flavour. If you can’t get it, you can substitute it with extra virgin olive oil, but the taste differs.
Can't Consume Alcohol?
For the wine, if you can’t consume alcohol, you can use chicken stock as a substitute. Do the same procedure of reducing the stock as you would the wine, then add more stock as in the original recipe. Both ways are delicious.
