Wood-Grilled Fresh Foie Gras with Caramelized Fall Fruits and Port Reduction Recipe
Flavors of Paris and the Ile-de-France
Total time: 30 to 60 minutes
Prep. time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: Under 30 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 1 lobe of fresh duck Foie gras or goose liver, about 500 g (18 oz.)
- 2 pears
- 2 Gala apples
- 2 figs
- 4 small bunches of white grapes (5-6 grapes per bunch)
- 4 small bunches of purple grapes (5-6 raisins per bunch)
- 50 g (2 oz.) duck fat
- 20 g (4 tsp.) sugar
- Guérande sea salt
- Cracked pepper
- 400 ml (1 1/2 cups) Port
Method
- Slice the lobe of foie gras into four nice escalopes; set aside in a cool place.
- Peel and seed the apples and pears; cut into wedges.
- Cut the figs into quarters.
- Peel the grapes, being careful to leave them attached to the stem.
- Melt the duck fat in a sauté pan; sauté the apple and pear wedges; add the grape bunches, and finally the quartered figs.
- Let cook, stirring often and gently. The fruit juices will caramelize.
- Sprinkle with sugar at the last minute.
- Over low heat, reduce the port by three quarters to obtain a syrupy reduction. Season the escalopes of foie gras with salt and pepper. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side over a wood fire (containing some vine branches if possible.)
- Once the foie gras is cooked, place the escalopes onto paper towels.
Presentation
- Attractively arrange the roasted fruits at the top of each plate, followed by an escalope of foie gras.
- Add a little Guérande salt and cracked pepper to the foie gras.
- Spoon the hot port sauce over top.
- Serve immediately.
