My new favorite ingredient!

I am crazy about Black Truffle Butter.... yummy delicious.  I have been really wanting to make a recipe I cut out of InStyle months ago.  The recipe, Truffled Orzo with Asparagus, was from the chef at The Harrison, a restaurant in NYC.  There was a big glossy picture of the meal and I am always a sucker for recipes with a picture of how it should look.  Anyway, the recipe called for Black Truffle Butter which I was able to find at Whole Foods.  I will warn you that it is very expensive... this little guy costs me $10.00. 
However, it was worth every penny.....   
Decadent is the only word that comes to mind when tasting the flavor that this butter adds.  It has a very strong and unique flavor and not much is needed so there was plenty of butter left over for some future experimenting.  The truffled orzo was divine and a good way to get some fresh asparagus in... you can find the recipe here.
