Duck Liver Mousse

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck Liver Mousse

    In a skillet, melt 50g of butter over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent. Add the duck liver and cook for about 5 minutes until browned. Pour in brandy and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Blend the Mixture

    Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mousse

    Transfer the mousse to a serving dish or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Hot Honey Mustard

    In a small bowl, mix honey and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Grill the Bread

    Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Brush sourdough slices with olive oil and grill until golden brown on both sides.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Arugula Salad

    In a bowl, toss arugula with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    To serve, place the chilled duck liver mousse on a plate, drizzle with hot honey mustard, and accompany with grilled bread and arugula salad.
