  2. Wash the fennel; cut off the stems from the ceps and clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth.
  3. Cut the zucchini into slices about 3 cm wide. Grate the truffle into thin slices.
  4. Cook half the ham on both sides in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
  5. Roast all of the vegetables on the grill until they are browned and slightly crispy.
  6. Arrange the vegetables in a fan shape on plates, drizzle with the truffle butter and cover with the fresh truffles and all the ham. Serve the vinaigrette separately.
