8 leek whites cut 8 to 10cm long
30 g (1.1 oz) of Périgord walnuts crushed and toasted
1 ripe black truffle "Mélanosporum" cut into julienne
8 cl (0.3 cup) of walnut oil
60 g (2.1 oz) thin slices of Cantal cheese cut into triangles
salt and ground pepper
a few drops of balsamic vinegar

Step-by-step directions

1 In a small bowl pour your walnut oil slightly warmed, add your crushed walnuts and in a small sachet your truffle julienne, salt and pepper well with the mill, leave this covered for 2 hours (flavor absorption).

2 During this time steam your leek cannons for 9 minutes then refresh in ice water and drain them.

3 Now let's move on to assembly.
On your 4 plates open your leeks in 2, season them, then place in each your truffle julienne, pour a little walnut oil and a few drops of vinegar.

4 Between each cannon intersperse your Cantal triangles and crushed walnuts around.
Just a royal appetizer upon tasting.
