Truffles, steamed.—After washing and peeling the truffles as above, fill the lower part of a steamer with two parts water to one of sherry, arrange the truffles on the steamer, and steam for an hour. Serve in a napkin. The proper truffes à la serviette, are cooked when washed and brushed (but not peeled) by wrapping each in a sheet of wet paper, and burying them in hot wood ashes for an hour, when they are taken out of the papers and served in a napkin.
