Pan Roasted Foie Gras And White Peach Chili Relish Recipes

ED'S SEARED FOIE GRAS WITH ROASTED GARLIC ONION JAM

Steps:

• Salt and pepper the foie gras.
• Heat 1.5 TBS of the butter in a skillet until lightly browned.
• Sear the foie gras quickly on both sides. If the foie gras is fresh you will only want to sear about 1-1.5 minutes per side. But if it has been frozen you'll want to sear about 2 minutes per side.
• Lay the warm, toasted bread slices on a serving plate and butter the tops using 1 TBS of the butter.
• Remove the foie gras from the pan and set on top of the bread slices.
• Drain the grease from the pan.
• Heat the same skillet again and add the remaining butter.
• Stir in the jam and heat until dissolved.
• Drizzle the jam mixture over the foie gras and bread slices.
• Serve and enjoy!

PAN SEARED QUEBEC FOIE GRAS WITH HOT AND SOUR PEACH JAM, CABERNET ICE WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Peaches: Combine the peach preserves and serranos in a saucepan. Cook until tender and syrupy. Remove from the heat and mash with a fork.
• Cabernet Franc Reduction: Reduce one cup of veal stock and Cabernet Franc. To thicken, add red wine jus, cream, and butter. Finish with a few drops of red wine vinegar and the shallots.
• Foie Gras: Cut the foie gras into 4 slices and score with a fork. Sear until golden brown on both sides in a hot pan. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel. Sprinkle with fleur de sel to season.
• Grill a small piece of white or milk bread; place in center of a plate. Add a teaspoon of peach preserve on the bread. Place hot foie gras on the peaches. Garnish with frisee and a few hand-cut local greens tossed in grapeseed oil. Spoon sauce around and drizzle with ice wine syrup.

FOIE GRAS ON A BED OF PEARS

Steps:

• Srinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the foie gras and keep at room temperature.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pear slices and brown sugar. Caramelize, turning often. Place the caramelized pears on two warm plates.
• Sear the foie gras on each side over medium-high heat in the frying pan (cooking time is delicate as it can vary from 15 seconds to 1 minute per side, depending on the thickness of the foie gras).
• Place the foie gras on the pears.
• Deglaze the frying pan with the balsamic vinegar, then add the cider (or apple juice) and the rosemary. Let it reduce a little, then pour over the foie gras. Decorate with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
• Try serving with a little green salad, using any remaining sauce as the dressing.
