Foie Gras Components

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Spiced Pears

    Peel and core the pears, then slice them into quarters. In a saucepan, combine water, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Add the pears and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove and let cool.

  2. 2

    Cook Foie Gras

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, add slices of foie gras and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Toast Brioche

    In the same skillet, toast brioche slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Frisée Salad

    In a bowl, toss frisée lettuce with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, place a slice of toasted brioche. Top with a slice of foie gras, a few pieces of spiced pears, and a handful of frisée salad. Sprinkle with candied pecans for added crunch.
