Duck Liver Mousse with Caramelized Onions
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb duck livers
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of brandy
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the duck livers and minced garlic, and cook until the livers are browned on the outside but still pink on the inside, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Carefully pour in the brandy and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Transfer the duck livers, caramelized onions, and garlic to a food processor. Add the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the mousse to a serving dish or individual ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve the duck liver mousse with caramelized onions with toasted baguette slices or crackers. Enjoy!
