Pan-Seared Foie Gras

A French delicacy made simple. Cook it at home and treat your friends! This is seared goose liver at its finest — juicy, tender, and fragrant. Paired with apple and cognac, it makes for a wonderful play of flavors. I highly recommend giving it a try!

  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or sauté pan, lay out the pieces of liver dusted with flour (about 1/2 inch / 1.5 cm thick), along with the apple cut into wedges. Sear the liver for about 1 minute per side. Don't add any oil — the liver is fatty enough and will release plenty of its own juices. Remember to season lightly with salt. Add the cognac to the apples and take the liver out of the pan. Leave the apple wedges over the heat for another 3–5 minutes, turning them over as they cook. Plate it up nicely, arranging the apples and foie gras in individual portions. A slice of bread fried on both sides in the leftover goose fat pairs beautifully with this dish. Enjoy!
