Hi Janine – that’s amazing! This is how we like them, and I’m glad they taste just like your great aunts. As to the right amount of seasoning – I honestly don’t measure when making this recipe. My one suggestion is to season the meat, and fry off a small patty and taste it (it’s what my dad used to do!) and adjust if needed.

This is the only koupepia recipe I use. They taste just like my great aunt’s.

Any sense of what the right amount of salt and pepper is for seasoning the meat?

The concept of these truffles is amazing but there’s a few issues with the recipe. First, the small amount of heated cream was not enough to melt the 2 cups of chocolate. Maybe this is where it all went wrong, but I then had to use a double boiler to melt the remainder of the chocolate. After sitting in the fridge for 6 hours, it still hadn’t set enough to roll it into the truffle shapes. I even tried to spread some thin on a pan to freeze and make bark with and it never froze. Between the tequila and the large amount of liquid, I don’t see how you could ever shape these into balls. So now I just have a dip?
