Umbrian Trout with Black Truffle

Umbria is the main black truffle region in Italy. The local Urbani brothers have the monopoly of 80 percent of the world truffle market. When I was in Norcia, part of Umbria, I was invited to join a truffle hunt with dogs, and to eat a local trout caught in the river Nera. The trout was served with a summer truffle, with some truffle oil added for extra flavour. But if you cook with the black winter truffle (Tuber melanosporum), you won’t need extra flavouring.
