On a quick weekend away to Rome, we had a lovely dinner in the Trastavere district. An antipasti plate came with the typical fare of meats, olives and cheeses - but there was one unique combination I'd never tried before.
Pecorino with truffle honey - it's a revelation! Such an incredible combination of flavours - the Pecorino, a hard, salty, ewe's milk cheese ... mixed with the sweet (yet savoury) taste of truffle honey. We picked up a jar of truffle honey while in Rome now serve this winning combo as a nice starter for dinner parties. The best part is that such a small amount of effort (chopping up some cheese and spooning honey from a jar) can deliver such a big wow factor!
It's the first time we've successfully replicated the exact food we've had while on holiday. Enjoy!
Mmmmmmy. If we can't find a suitable cheese course, how about we just be sure to eat a lot of cheese?
