foiegras.OK

RECIPE

Gastronomic pleasure in perspective!

For 6 to 8 people

  • 1 raw duck or goose foie gras (about 500 G)
  • 4 tablespoons of cognac
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
  • a pinch of sugar

Preparation of foie gras

  • Take the foie gras out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before working it so that it is at room temperature
  • Gently remove the veins of the foie gras with a sharp knife. Be careful not to damage the liver. If necessary, use a damp cloth to help remove veins

seasoning

  • In a bowl, combine the salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar.
  • Sprinkle the foie gras with this mixture on both sides.

Cognac marinade

  • Place the seasoned foie gras in an airtight container.
  • Pour the cognac over the foie gras. Make sure the foie is well impregnated with the cognac. Cover the container and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. You can flip the foie gras halfway through for a uniform marinade.

cooking

  • Preheat your oven to 110°C
  • Remove the marinated foie gras from the refrigerator and let it rest for a few minutes at room temperature.
  • Place the foie gras in a suitable mould or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the foie gras for about 15 to 18 minutes for a duck foie gras, or about 12 to 15 minutes for a goose foie gras.
  • Watch carefully to avoid overcooking. The liver should be firm but not too hard.

cooling and resting

  • Remove the foie gras from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 48 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop.

tasting

  • Take the foie gras out of the refrigerator about 10 to 20 minutes before serving it so that it has a smooth texture.
  • Serve the foie gras sliced on toasted toast or accompanied by onion jam, figs or chutney for a refined tasting.

  • Pour the reduced syrup over the pears.

decoration (optional)
