Treat your ingredients with care...

Foie gras — Ensure that the foie gras is at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior. Be gentle when handling the foie gras to avoid breaking it.

Tips & Tricks

For an extra touch of decadence, serve the foie gras on toasted brioche or crusty bread.
If you prefer a sweeter onion jam, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup during the caramelization process.
Make sure to use a sharp knife to slice the foie gras to ensure clean cuts.
