Seared Foie Gras with fig or pear compote
The Foie Gras comes from Brome Lake, Quebec. It is a free range duck. They are not penned and walk around freely. They come to be fed. The whole duck is used in different products. They provide an excellent foie gras and is available at DeLuca's on Portage Ave.
Prepare crostini or toasts and top with warm compote as recipe follows;
1/2 - 1 whole sliced pear or 2-3 sliced fresh figs Or Mostarda with figs
1/2 tsp butter
ground hazelnuts (optional)
deglaze with Frangelico or Disorrono
Cook pear or figs in pan and cook down with liquor.
Prepare foie gras slices by slightly seasoning with sea salt. In a hot pan, sear foie gras on both sides until brown and deglaze with liquor. Place on prepared toasts, top with a few grains of Fleur d’sel or good sea salt and serve immediately.
Enjoy!

Hi Laren. Just wondering if it is possible to purchase the Fois Gras in Manitoba? I only caught the tail end of your visit on CBC Saturday morning, so not sure if you mentioned on air. A couple years ago, I went on a bicycle tour in Bordeaux (tourist cycling, not Tour de France cycling!!) and we visited a Vineyard in the Sauternes region. I had never heard of encouraging botrytis on grapes!! But that is the specialty wine for that region and the traditional pairing is with Fois Gras! I brought a bottle home and I have been saving it for an occasion when I can serve it with Fois gras. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything here in MB. If I can't find any, would you have a suggestion for an alternative to Fois gras to pair with Sauternes wine?
Hi Zozo,
Lovely Foie Gras can be purchased at DeLuca's on Portage Ave. in Winnipeg. It is from Brome Lake, QC and is ethically raised. Enjoy with your lovely Sauternes wine! Here is a lovely article that I just found for you. http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/the-surprise-of-sauternes.
Enjoy!
Thanks,
Karen
