Foie Gras with Fig Compote and Caramelized Onions on Toasted Brioche
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 slices of foie gras, 1-inch thick
- 1 cup of fresh figs, chopped
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 4 slices of brioche bread
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped figs, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the figs break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toast the brioche slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Season the foie gras slices with salt and pepper. In the same grill or grill pan, sear the foie gras for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside but still pink and creamy on the inside.
- To assemble, place a slice of toasted brioche on each plate. Top with a spoonful of the fig compote, a generous portion of caramelized onions, and a seared foie gras slice. Serve immediately.
