Ingredients

Foie Gras

Spiced Tarte Tatin

Vadouvan Gastrique

Garnish

Preparation

Preparing the Spiced Tarte Tatin

1. Prepare the Apples

Peel, core, and slice the apples into quarters.

2. Make the Caramel

In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved, forming a caramel.

3. Cook the Apples

Arrange the apple quarters in the skillet, cut side up, and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook for about 10 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.

4. Add the Puff Pastry

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the apples with the puff pastry, tucking the edges down into the skillet.

5. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

6. Invert

Carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate, so the apples are on top.

Making the Vadouvan Gastrique

7. Combine Ingredients

In a saucepan, combine the red wine vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

8. Reduce and Add Spice

Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the vadouvan spice blend and remove from heat.

Cooking the Foie Gras

9. Season

Pat the foie gras dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

10. Sear

In a hot skillet, add olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the foie gras and sear for about 30 seconds on each side until golden brown.

Plating

11. Arrange the Plate

Place a slice of spiced tarte tatin on a plate, top with a piece of seared foie gras, and drizzle with vadouvan gastrique.

12. Garnish

Sprinkle sliced almonds and fresh thyme over the top for garnish.
