Method
Preparing the Foie Gras
Marinate the Foie Gras
In a bowl, combine the duck liver with cognac, salt, white pepper, and thyme. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Wrap the Foie Gras
Remove the liver from the marinade and drain excess liquid. Place the liver on a piece of cheesecloth, fold it over, and roll tightly to form a log. Tie the ends securely.
Poach the Foie Gras
Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Gently place the wrapped foie gras in the water and poach for about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool completely in the refrigerator.
Making the Chutney
Cook the Chutney
In a saucepan, combine pears, onion, brown sugar, white vinegar, ginger, cinnamon stick, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
Cool the Chutney
Remove from heat and let the chutney cool. Discard the cinnamon stick.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Slice the foie gras and serve it with the pear chutney on the side. Enjoy with toasted bread or crackers.
