Ingredients

Foie gras
8 ounces, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Butter
2 tablespoons, divided
Lemon juice
1 tablespoon
Sugar
2 tablespoons
Apples
2 cups, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably granny smith or honeycrisp)

Instructions

  1. 1. Season the foie gras slices generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. 2. Heat a non-stick pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt.
  3. 3. Carefully add the foie gras slices to the pan, searing for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Remove the foie gras from the pan and set aside on a warm plate.
  4. 4. In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced apples, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. 5. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the apple mixture and stir until melted and well combined.
  6. 6. To serve, plate the seared foie gras and generously spoon the warm apple compote over the top or alongside. Enjoy immediately.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the apple compote while it cooks.
  • 💡 Pair this dish with a glass of Sauternes or a sweet dessert wine to complement the richness of the foie gras.
