Nutmeg "Truffle"

Bruno_Coelho_159113

Hi everyone!!

Well, I have some crazy ideas I would like to share with you.

Honestly, I need some help here!! Please!!

I don´t know if this is possible, but I´m trying to create a Nutmeg Truffle!!

So the question is: Why?

Just because nutmeg it´s beautiful inside, as a real truffle!!

Well, not so beautiful, but it´s close

The final product could be sliced as a truffle, to use it for an Alfredo sauce, for example.

Little problems I found: Texture and flavor intensity.

I tried to soak the nutmeg in vinegar and other liquids for a week, to make it softer.

It worked...so far so good...

But the texture...blahh...looks like I´m eating a piece of wood!!

And the flavor still´s very intense. I believe because the essential oils are very strong.

So...Is that possible to make? Or am I dreaming too high?

You are trying to come up with a methods of making whole nutmeg stone soft enough to slice on top of a dish, however, you're also looking for a way top make it more attractive because it looks like a piece of wood or bark, and lastly you're looking for a way to mute themself of it because it's far too intense a flavor as is. Is that about right?

Yes Brian, That´s it!

Do you think is it too much for a nutmeg?

My next question is why? It's already too hard to slice, it's too intense a flavor to have sliced, and you don't thinks it's aesthetically pleasing, so why would you want to? Just because you can?
