Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, mustard and some salt and pepper in a large bowl; slowly whisk in the olive oil.
• Add the arugula, almonds and raisins and toss gently to coat. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with the truffle oil, scatter the Parmesan on top and serve.

PAUL BERTOLLI'S WHITE TRUFFLE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl and season it to taste with salt and pepper.
• Have two large plates ready. Remove any tough outer leaves of the fennel. With a sharp knife, slice as thinly as possible enough of the heart to cover the bottom of the plates loosely. Transfer the fennel to a bowl and dress with a little of the olive oil and lemon mixture. Correct seasoning. Scatter the fennel loosely over the plates.
• Slice the mushrooms very thin, producing almost transparent cross-sections. Strew the mushrooms over the fennel, covering the fennel with an airy layer of mushrooms. With a hand-held cheese grater or knife blade, make shavings of Parmesan and put them on the other two layers in a similar fashion.
• Drizzle the remaining olive oil and lemon mixture over and around everything on the plates. With a cheese parer or truffle cutter, cut the truffle in very thin slices. Grind a little black pepper over each plate and serve.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Heat the sweetened condensed milk, pistachio butter and 1 pound white chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted. Stir; the mixture will have a slight marshmallow texture. Remove from the heat, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 pound white chocolate together with the coconut oil over a double boiler on medium-low heat until smooth. Set aside.
• Roll the chilled truffle batter into teaspoon-sized balls. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate coating, and let the excess chocolate drip off. Immediately sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and place on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make more truffles.
• Allow the chocolate exterior to set completely, about 30 minutes. If short on time, chill for 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
