Seared Foie Gras


Ingredients:
1 whole foie gras (about 1.5 lbs.)
Flour
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup port wine
Mixed greens

Preparation:
Combine balsamic vinegar and port wine and reduce until thick and syrupy. Keep warm.

Put the whole foie in a bowl of tepid water for one hour.  Remove from water and separate lobes.  Clean and devein the lobes of the whole, raw foie gras. Cut into slices 1/2-inch thick with a moistened sharp knife. Lightly flour, salt and pepper and cook them for 20 to 30 seconds on each side in a very hot, heavy skillet.

Serving Suggestion:
Place foie gras on mixed greens in plate and nap with port wine sauce.

Variation:
Poached prunes, pears or other fruit goes well with the seared foie gras. I also enjoy seared foie gras with a port wine sauce.

History:
Whole, fresh foie gras is produced by Hudson Valley Foie Gras in New York and can be purchased from D'Artagnan and delivered to California.  http://www.dartagnan.com/
