During the exploration of Provence in the Southeast of France, the Le Chameau team followed a family of truffle hunters into the local oak woodlands to search for winter truffles and to hear how they are deeply rooted to the land.   

Wearing Le Chameau Explore and Saint Hubert Héritage, the hunters ventured deep into the French countryside and to a secret location to express their craft of truffle hunting. During the couple of days, the Le Chameau team foraged a number of truffles in the woodland, washed and cleaned them back at the truffle hunter's mountain lodge, and were also treated to a favourite recipe of theirs, Omelette aux Truffes.   

This recipe simply uses eggs and wafer-thin slices of truffle, and it is served with a Provençal salad using the region’s seasonal dandelion (pissenlit) leaves, celery, olive oil and shavings of truffle – if you don’t have truffles, you can also use anchovies or wild garlic.

The truffle hunters also suggested having the traditional French flatbread to serve alongside the omelette called Fougasse infused with olives and smoked pork belly. Although simple, this recipe is all about using the best, seasonal ingredients; the flavour is unmatched.
