  • Make the caramelized pears: Cut each pear in half crosswise and remove the core. In a small, deep pan, stir together the water and sugar, and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it turns to caramel. Add the pear pieces to the caramel and let them caramelize, turning them on each side. Pour the cognac over the fruit and carefully flambé it. Take the pan off the heat, shaking it now and then to let the flames die down. Set the caramelized pears aside for now. On to the sauce: Using a juicer, extract the pear juice you need. In a small saucepan, combine the pear juice with the honey and soy sauce, and add a pinch of salt. Set it over low heat and stir until it thickens. Now the liver itself: Cut the duck liver into slices about 3/4 inch (1.5 cm) thick and sear them in a dry, very hot skillet lightly dusted with coarse salt. Don't overcook the foie gras — about 1 minute per side is plenty. Blot away any excess fat with paper towels. Plate it up: Warm a plate in the microwave, then layer a piece of foie gras, the bottom half of a pear, another piece of foie gras, and finish with the pear top and its stem. Drizzle the whole thing with the pear-honey sauce and serve. Enjoy — cheers to your health!
