Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Foie Gras

    Gently pat the foie gras slices dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Sear the Foie Gras

    Add the foie gras slices to the pan and sear for about 30-45 seconds on each side, or until a golden crust forms. Do not overcrowd the pan; do this in batches if necessary.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    Remove the foie gras from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. In the same pan, add balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the seared foie gras and drizzle the balsamic herb sauce on top. Serve immediately.
