This very simple recipe combines the luxurious fattiness of foie gras with the tartness of apple brandy. A divine combination that is sure to be a party favorite. The cheaper grade B foie gras is perfectly suitable for this recipe. You may even use the canned foie gras, although there is a definite loss in flavor.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 Ounces Fresh Foie Gras - Grade B, cut into 1 inch pieces, vein removed
  • 1/4 Cup Pomme de Vie (Apple Brandy)
  • 8 Ounces Unsalted Butter, room temperature (soft)
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Heat up a non-stick pan until it is very hot. Add the foie gras and saute for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Put the foie gras into a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. With the processor running on a low speed, slowly add the brandy and softened butter.

Continue to mix until it is a smooth consistency. Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.

Put the mixture into a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Serve with small slices of toast and tart apple wedges.

For a more elegant presentation, use a cake piping bag ahead of time to swirl portions onto individual toasts.

Really??, Member wtfareyouthinking

Don't listen to this guy or you will have nothing left. First off you do not want to saute foie gras. Pan sear is more like it at a very high heat. 5 minutes you'll probably end up with nothing but fat in the pan after it disintegrate.
