Foie Gras Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Foie Gras

    Carefully clean the duck liver, removing any veins or imperfections. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season and Marinate

    In a bowl, mix the salt, white pepper, and Cognac. Rub this mixture all over the liver and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Sear the Foie Gras

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted and bubbly, add the foie gras and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Be careful not to overcook; it should remain slightly pink in the center.

  4. 4

    Add Thyme

    During the last minute of cooking, add the fresh thyme to the pan to infuse the flavor into the foie gras.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute. Slice the foie gras and serve on toasted baguette slices. Optionally, add a dollop of fruit preserves on top.
