Foie Gras with Fig Compote 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 granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 4 slices of brioche bread
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped figs, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the figs have softened and the mixture has thickened to a compote-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the foie gras slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the balsamic vinegar and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the vinegar has reduced by half and thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Toast the brioche slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.
- To assemble, place a slice of toasted brioche on each plate. Top with a spoonful of the fig compote, followed by a slice of seared foie gras. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction and serve immediately.
