Tan a Gustito "Tapas"

Love for white truffle


The white truffle is the most valuable and known worldwide, due to the intense perfume it emanates and its delicate flavor. Golden yellow, smooth skin and brown pulp with white veins, even aphrodisiac properties are attributed to it.

At Tan a Gustito Tapas they love this seasonal product to the point of advising the best ways to taste it. For the chef and co-owner of the restaurant, David Hidalgo, it is preferable to use it raw, cut into thin slices directly on the plate to be tasted. This has to be simple to be able to taste all the characteristics of this tuber in the most natural way possible.

Perfect combinations with white truffle

Originally from the Italian Piedmont, this tuber, which is harvested from September to December, is perfect to combine in dishes such as fried eggs, classic fondue, creamy risotto, traditional tagliolino or steak tartare.

From the middle of November to January of next year, the white truffle will be the protagonist in many of the dishes served at Tan a gustito Tapas. One of these recipes is poached egg, cooked exactly at 62º and accompanied by Robuchon-style potato parmentier and fresh white truffle.

Another of David Hidalgo's specialties, the subject of some workshops, is pasta made with thirty-three egg yolks. A wonderful way to enjoy a homemade recipe, made with care and crowned by the queen of kitchens at this time of year.
