Jam Glazed Foie Gras Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 slices foie gras
• 1 tablespoon black tea powder
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup mixed berry jam (raspberry, blackberry, or any favorite combination)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Black Tea Marinade:

• In a small bowl, mix the black tea powder with the boiling water. Allow the tea to steep for 3-4 minutes, then strain and let it cool. This mixture will be used to marinate the foie gras.

Marinate the Foie Gras:

• Place the foie gras slices in a shallow dish and pour the cooled black tea marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.

Prepare the Jam Glaze:

• In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berry jam, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Cook over low heat, stirring until the glaze is smooth and well combined.

Cook the Foie Gras:

• Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Remove the foie gras from the marinade, discarding the marinade, and pat the slices dry.
• Add the unsalted butter to the skillet, and once it has melted, add the foie gras. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until heated through and golden brown. Be careful not to overcook the foie gras, as it should remain tender.

Glaze the Foie Gras:

• Brush the jam glaze onto both sides of the foie gras while it is still in the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Serve:

• Transfer the foie gras to a serving plate and let it rest for a minute before serving.
• Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
• Enjoy your Jam Glazed Foie Gras with a hint of black tea flavor, perfect for a luxurious dinner or special occasion. The sweet and tangy jam glaze complements the rich flavor of the foie gras, creating a delightful culinary experience.
