SEARED FOIE GRAS WITH POACHED QUINCE, TANGERINE, AND POMEGRANATE JUICE



Seared Foie Gras with Poached Quince, Tangerine, and Pomegranate Juice image

This elegant dish combines an exotic trio of ingredients -- foie gras, quince, and pomegranate. The richness of the foie gras is complemented by the sweet, tangy fruits.An extravagant delicacy that goes back to Roman times, foie gras is the enlarged liver of a force-fed goose or duck. Duck foie gras has a winey flavor, while goose foie gras is slightly richer and more mellow. Both should be firm to the touch. Look for quinces, bitter fruit that turn sweet with cooking, that are yellow -- a sign of ripeness.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 medium-ripe yellow quinces, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tangerines, juiced (about 1/3 cup)
Peel of 1 tangerine
1 cinnamon stick, 1/2 inch long
2 to 3 whole cloves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
1/2 cup sugar
1 large red pomegranate
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 pounds fresh foie gras, well-chilled
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh chervil
1 tablespoon reserved pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • To make the quince: Slice ends from quince, and peel (a vegetable peeler works well). Cut in half, lengthwise. Remove the tough core, using a Parisian scoop (or a small paring knife). Then cut quince lengthwise into 1-inch-thick wedges. Place in a medium-size nonreactive saucepan, and add the remaining ingredients, plus 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, and cool until quince is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Remove quince slices and tangerine peel with a slotted spoon. Strain poaching liquid and discard aromatics. Julienne tangerine peel, and return it, along with quince, to poaching liquid. Keep warm. If preparing in advance, let cool in poaching liquid. Cover, and refrigerate.
  • To make the pomegranate juice: Cut pomegranate in half, and juice just as you would a citrus fruit. In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, vinegar, and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes, until slightly thickened. Set aside.
  • To make the foie gras: Separate the two lobes of the foie gras, and cut away any excess fat found at the point of separation. Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife (dipped in hot water), cut foie gras crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Score one side of each slice of foie gras in a crosshatch pattern. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Remove foie gras slices from refrigerator 15 minutes before sauteing. Warm quince over medium heat if necessary. Heat a 12-inch saucepan over medium-high heat. Season foie gras with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. Working quickly, sear foie gras slices, crosshatched side down, in batches, if necessary, for about 1 minute. Turn, and cook for another minute. The foie gras should be nicely seared on the outside, yet rare in the middle.
  • To assemble: Arrange quince in the center of warmed appetizer plates. Top with foie gras slices. Drizzle reduced pomegranate-juice mixture around the quince and foie gras, and garnish with herbs and pomegranate seeds.

Foie Gras with Date Purée and Pomegranate image

In these spectacular cocktail-ring-proportioned bites, the date purée gives surprising depth to the silky richness of foie gras. Add pomegranate seeds-a gorgeous garnet crown-for a burst of sour-sweet juice and a little crunch.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 32 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 pound Medjool dates (packed 1/2 cup), pitted
1/2 cup boiling-hot water
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
1 large brioche loaf or challah loaf (1 to 1 1/2 pound)
1 (6 1/2-ounces) block foie gras, chilled
Garnish: pomegranate seeds (from 1 pomegranate)

Steps:

  • Soak dates in boiling-hot water (1/2 cup) in a bowl 10 minutes. Transfer dates with a slotted spoon to a mini food processor or a blender along with 1 tablespoon soaking liquid. Add pomegranate molasses and purée until smooth.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Cut enough 1/4-inch-thick slices from brioche to cut into a total of 32 (1 1/2-inch) squares (without crust).
  • Broil brioche squares on a baking sheet 4 to 5 inches from heat, turning once, until pale golden, about 1 1/2 minutes total. (Watch carefully; brioche toasts quickly.)
  • Dip a sharp paring knife in hot water, then dry it and halve foie gras lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 16 slices (32 total), dipping and drying knife after each cut. Put each slice as cut on top of a brioche toast, then top with a small dollop of date purée and a few pomegranate seeds.

FOIE GRAS ON A BED OF PEARS



Foie Gras on a Bed of Pears image

This is a delicious and elegant first course. I have also made this with apples, which came out very well, but pears are truly ideal for complementing the taste of the foie gras.

Provided by frusakam

Categories     European

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slices foie gras, approx. 2 oz. each
salt and pepper, to taste
1 ripe pear, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup cider or 1/4 cup apple juice
fresh rosemary, to taste

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.
