Yes….for real.
It took us 21 hours to get back to San Diego. The next morning it was time to restock. Among the stops was Nijiya. I was shocked to see truffles in the produce case. I probably shouldn't be surprised as over the years Nijiya has had seasonal items like fresh chanterelles.
So no, that's not a turd. It's not super fragrant, not like what we came across in France. It was 8 bucks for something that works grated on the microplane over eggs.
Which gave me the idea of doing a locomoco….but it couldn't be just any loco….
Sooooo…..long story short, ground wagyu from Bristol Farms, I have frozen veal stock in the freezer, dried porcini in the cabinet, shallots on the counter.
And all those basic skills everyone who cooks should have; how to cook an egg, how to make a burger, and how to make a simple pan sauce. Shave truffle on egg and…say no more…..
So it was time to "go loco, or go home"! Or maybe….go take a nap?
Hope you're having a great week!
I was JUST at Nijiya yesterday but did not see truffles! I’ve never ever seen one there so thanks for the heads up. The turd comment was too funny. I didn’t know you shopped at Bristol Farms meat department – I get their weekly emails but haven’t revisited that market in a while.
You’re killing me as I eat my mid-morning banana. It would have been bad enough if you posted about a regular loco moco, but you kicked it up by a mile! What kind of rice (if it is rice) did you use?
Wow. Nice looking egg there!
Hi Faye – They had them on Sunday….but maybe they sold them all? I shop at Bristol Farms regularly. I usuallyo rder duck from the meat department and get it when it arrives…never frozen.
LOL Sandy! It’s just good quality Jasmine Rice.
Thanks Jan. It was delish!
Anything special about the egg? The yolk color looks richer than I’m normally used to seeing.
Hey Hao – They are the “Golden Yolk” from Nijiya.
I saw the picture and was hoping some restaurant in SD had majorly stepped up their brunch game….
nice! Have a nice weekend:)
Now that would be great JS……
You too Kat!
You got me drooling Kirk!
I can’t EVEN. That looks awesome!
Hi HH – Well that’s the ultimate compliment…..get HH drooling. How many people can claim that, right?
Hey James – It’s not hard…..go for it and make one yourself!
