Foie gras, buckwheat, and figs

Ingredients:

  • 400 g of foie gras
  • 200 g of buckwheat
  • 4 dried figs
  • 20 g of cider vinegar
  • 50 g of water
  • Meat juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Preparation:

To prepare this recipe, we start by toasting the buckwheat in the oven for 8 minutes at 80 ºC until it’s browned.

On the other hand, we take a medallion of frozen foie gras, salt and pepper it, and package it. Then, we cook it in the  sous-vide Immersion Circulator SmartVide for 19 minutes at 58 ºC.

We cut the figs and pack them with vinegar and water to soften their sweetness.

Once the foie has been cooked, we brown it in the salamander or with the torch.

To finish, we put the foie gras, buckwheat, and figs with the sauce.

This method of cooking allows us to cook directly from the frozen state, thus avoiding losses. Also, we don’t need heat to prepare this recipe, so it is useful for a kitchen without a smoke extractor.
