Method

Preparing the Parfait

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a skillet, melt 50g of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Livers

    Add the chicken liver to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until browned but still pink in the center. Add the Cognac, cook for another 2 minutes, and then remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    In a food processor, combine the sautéed mixture with foie gras, remaining butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Prepare Gelatin

    Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess water and stir into the warm liver mixture until dissolved.

  5. 5

    Chill the Parfait

    Pour the mixture into a terrine or mold. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Accompaniments

    Slice the brioche and toast until golden. Arrange sliced quince on the side.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove the parfait from the refrigerator, slice, and serve with toasted brioche and quince slices.
