Yesterday, I decided to further explore the flavors and textures of Macaroni and Cheese by deconstructing it and infusing it with truffles.
On the right side of the plate you see just simple cooked macaroni tossed with a little bit of butter. In a middle is a truffle froth, made by bringing the cream and a few truffle slices to boil, seasoned with a pinch of salt and then quickly blending it with the immersion blender. Finally, on the left is very finely shredded white cheddar and yellow cheddar cheeses. When you get a macaroni on a fork and slide it across the plate, dipping it into truffle froth and the cheese mixture, you get a perfect bite of Truffled Macaroni and Cheese.
This month's 5 Star Makeover Challenge is to create a MACARONI AND CHEESE dish with a twist (such as modern, healthy, fusion, molecular gastronomy, seasonal, or adapting to a particular cuisine style). To participate, please post about your creation mentioning "5 Star Makeover" and linking to this post. Then, send me an email at natasha@5starfoodie.com or leave a comment here with a link to your blog post. All existing blog posts are welcome for submissions. Please send your entries by Sunday, November 1. The round-up will be posted on Monday, November 2.
