This is a cooking demonstration video highlighting fresh black truffle mushrooms from the Perigord in France. This recipe for scallop truffle Napoleon with creamed leeks is from the cookbook Truffles, Ultimate Luxury, Everyday Pleasure by Rosariio Safina and Judith Sutton.
This recipe is easy to make and really showcases the wonderful black truffle flavor. A slice of truffle is inserted into the cut center of each scallop and refrigerated for one or two hours, which allows the truffle flavor to permeate the scallop.
Once seared, the scallops are placed on a bed of braised or creamed leeks, and finished with a generous amount of minced black truffles.
