Best 8 Eds Seared Foie Gras With Roasted Garlic Onion Jam Recipes

ED'S SEARED FOIE GRAS WITH ROASTED GARLIC ONION JAM

Steps:

• Salt and pepper the foie gras.
• Heat 1.5 TBS of the butter in a skillet until lightly browned.
• Sear the foie gras quickly on both sides. If the foie gras is fresh you will only want to sear about 1-1.5 minutes per side. But if it has been frozen you'll want to sear about 2 minutes per side.
• Lay the warm, toasted bread slices on a serving plate and butter the tops using 1 TBS of the butter.
• Remove the foie gras from the pan and set on top of the bread slices.
• Drain the grease from the pan.
• Heat the same skillet again and add the remaining butter.
• Stir in the jam and heat until dissolved.
• Drizzle the jam mixture over the foie gras and bread slices.
• Serve and enjoy!

PAN-SEARED FOIE GRAS WITH FIGS AND PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Carefully pull apart the 2 lobes of the foie gras with your hands and remove the veins that are lodged between them. Using a sharp knife dipped in boiling water, cut each lobe into 1-inch medallions, approximately 6 (4-ounce) slices. Score the top of each medallion in a diamond pattern and season with salt and pepper. Sear the medallions in a hot, dry pan for 30 seconds per side, seasoned side down first. Remove to a warmed platter lined with paper towels to drain.
• Lower heat to medium and pour out a bit of the rendered duck fat. Fry the bread rounds until brown, about 2 minutes each side, set aside. Wipe out the pan and coat with olive oil. Brown the figs, cut side down, then add the shallots and tarragon. Cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with port, juice of 1/2 orange and balsamic vinegar, cook down, about 3 minutes. Finish off the sauce with butter, a pinch of sugar, orange zest, salt and pepper.
• Combine the endive, arugula and chives together in a small bowl. Toss with remaining orange juice, lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Arrange a handful of salad on each plate and lay the toast on top. Carefully place a foie gras medallion on each toast round. Top with figs, drizzle with port wine sauce. Garnish with chives and serve at once.

ROASTED GARLIC AND CARAMELIZED ONION JAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the top off the garlic head to just expose the bulb. Remove any excess papery skins.
• Place in a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Close the foil around the bulb, leaving a space between the top and the foil. Place onto a baking sheet and into the oven. Roast the garlic until soft and fragrant, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and cool completely. Gently squeeze the cloves into a dish. (Can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.)
• Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon oil. Once hot, add the onions and season lightly with salt and pepper. Brown until evenly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry vinegar, white wine and saffron. Stir to scrape up any browned bits. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir in the roasted garlic. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam is thickened and glossy. Remove from the heat and cool. Season with salt and pepper.

ONION "JAM"

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice your onions (I use a Mandolin for this).
• In a large heavy based pot, heat the oil and add the onions, stir frequently over a medium heat until caramalised (15-20 minutes).
• Add the mustard seeds and fry for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the brown sugar and cook for another 2 minutes (it needs to be well dissolved).
• Add the remaining ingredients and reduce to a low simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Carefully pour the hot onion jam into prepared jars ( hot sterilized jars if you want to keep them on your shelf - will keep for 6 months) or a clean jar if you want to pop it into your fridge and use it within 2-4 hours (or once chilled). Keeps in the fridge for 4 weeks. Once a jar is opened, this jam must be refridgerated.

SEARED FOIE GRAS AND LINGONBERRY JAM ON BRIOCHE TOAST

Steps:

• Cut brioche into 3/4-inch-thick slices, then into 60 (1 1/2-inch) cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon butter with 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Cook brioche cubes, 12 at a time, until golden brown on top and bottom, about 3 minutes total. Transfer brioche as cooked to a rack to cool and sprinkle with salt to taste. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean with paper towels and add more butter and oil.
• Stir pepper and juice into jam. Chill jam, covered, until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cut foie gras into 1- by 1/2-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Reduce heat to moderate and cook foie gras, about 20 pieces at a time, until golden brown on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Transfer foie gras as cooked to a shallow baking pan with a spatula and arrange in 1 layer. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean.
• Reheat foie gras as needed in middle of oven 2 minutes, or until just hot, before assembling hors d'oeuvres. Just before serving, top toasts with lingonberry jam, then foie gras.

FOIE GRAS ON A BED OF PEARS

Steps:

• Srinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the foie gras and keep at room temperature.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pear slices and brown sugar. Caramelize, turning often. Place the caramelized pears on two warm plates.
• Sear the foie gras on each side over medium-high heat in the frying pan (cooking time is delicate as it can vary from 15 seconds to 1 minute per side, depending on the thickness of the foie gras).
• Place the foie gras on the pears.
• Deglaze the frying pan with the balsamic vinegar, then add the cider (or apple juice) and the rosemary. Let it reduce a little, then pour over the foie gras. Decorate with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
• Try serving with a little green salad, using any remaining sauce as the dressing.
