Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb piece raw Grade A duck foie gras at room temperature, cleaned and deveined
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp canola oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Special Equipment
a 10-inch heavy skillet

Steps:

  • After deveining, cut the foie gras crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of the canola oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
  • Sauté half the foie gras until golden, 45 to 60 seconds on each side (it will be pink inside). Quickly transfer to a paper towel to drain and discard fat in skillet.
  • Sauté the rest of the foie gras the same way, then discard all all but 1 tablespoon of remaining fat in skillet. Add 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and bring to a boil. Serve foie gras with sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best results, select high-quality duck foie gras that is fresh and firm.
  • Carefully clean the foie gras to remove any impurities and veins. This will help to ensure a smooth and flavorful final product.
  • Season the foie gras generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance its natural flavor.
  • Sear the foie gras in a hot pan until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent the foie gras from becoming dry.
  • Reduce the heat and continue to cook the foie gras until it is cooked to your desired doneness. The ideal internal temperature for foie gras is between 130°F and 135°F (54°C and 57°C).
  • Allow the foie gras to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and ensure a tender and flavorful bite.
  • Serve the foie gras with a variety of accompaniments, such as toasted bread, fruit compote, or a savory sauce.

Conclusion:

Sautéed duck foie gras is a classic French dish that is both luxurious and delicious. By following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can create a stunning dish that will impress your guests. Whether you are a seasoned chef or a home cook looking to try something new, sautéed duck foie gras is sure to be a hit.
