L'Auberge Carmel - How to sear a piece of foie gras.

MMMMM Why is it the more an animal suffers the better it taste. LOL you tree hugging Veggies don't know what you are missing! PS there are many "Humane" goose farmers. Check out Ramseys F Word.

@cdgraves68, foie gras is one of the most expensive delicacy in this planet. It's creamy, rich, tons of flavor. First time I tried it when i was 14 years old, I haven't stopped eating it. I actually just bought some fresh foie gras that i'll be cooking this sunday.

@AlenkaPanda, who the hell are you to tell me or anyone what to eat and what not to eat? You tree hugging animal loving bitches are going too far. I've never heard of getting E. COLI from eating foie gras. Your vegetables are covered with feces with more than 100,000 cfu/ml of E. Coli. Diseased? You're fucking ignorant. I will still eat foie gras even if it's banned in California, like Chicago, it will eventually be overturned.

it came from diseased, dying and hurt ducks that are force fed by pipes through their throats that tear and scar their throats 3 times a day. These ducks sit in small cages dying and getting sick in their own vomit, going insane. little cages leave huge scars and tear their flesh, while rats are snacking on them. Eat you delicacy while watching that!!

[AlenkaPanda]

you people are worse than animals, you don't even deserve to be compared to humans!!. how can you eat this liver when you are aware of the way its made? Stopping cruel tratment of animals is not easy, and McDonalds is also to blame for the treatment of chickens, but this is not that popular and big, and still has a chance of being stopped!! next time you want your fucking delicassy of foie gras, watch a vidoe of how the ducks are treated you sickos. The liver is diseased!

Why on earth did he add butter????? DUMB!!!

[cdgraves68]

ok im stupid what is foie gras?

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

@cdgraves68 It is the purposely fattened liver of a goose who has been force fed so that its liver bloats up to 3-4 times its normal size. It's considered a delicacy and is classically served pan seared on brioche and toasted to with Sauternes sweet wine. It can also be made into a mousse or a terrine. It's hella expensive and the best comes from France and Israel. Try it some time or look for ways to prepare it, cook it and eat it.

never add butter to foie gras it is possibly the worst thing you can do it do it. foie gras is almost entirely fat so adding even a drop of butter is just ridiculously stupid.

if it was either duck fat or foie gras fat - fine but butter to foie gras is just fucking stupid

[kneedesk]

Thank you for posting this video of how to sear foie gras. It gave me confident to do my first attemp to sear cuts from my 2.24 lbs fresh one I ordered...Happy cooing...:D

[cliffcox66]

Very nice. Great motion on the basting. Seems you've done it a few times ; )

[therealperth]

THE DISEASED LIVER OF A FORCE FED BIRD.

That's what you're eating.

[amberbubbles55]

@therealperth mmm...cruelty.

[jmarcv666]

@therealperth

Do your research - you are wrong.

Besides, they 'force feed' themselves to go long distances.

[SecularResponse]

Check out how they make this stuff, then add some butter and a gay ass song. (try searching for "gavage" )

[Beewez]

Congratulations, you managed to make foie gras gay with that song of yours.

[amazingdany]

Foie gras is so good, it melts in your mouth.

[SAHB58]

Wot !no chips!!

[tantibogusboy]

Why add butter if foie gras is 90% fat?

[danielcordes]

Fried too long and the butter was burnt! Clarified would be better and fried a minute less on both sides, then in to the oven not directly on the pan, put the foi on buttered paper so it doesnt continue frying from the pan

[LouisCypherprod]

@danielcordes

The butter was brown, not burnt. You seriously think brown butter doesn't compliment the pears and almonds?

As for Searing on one side, that is a matter of preference.

[beausoleil85]

I see you added a bit of butter before putting in the oven. How hot is the oven supposed to be for the 1 minute it's in there?

[irishmerit]

nicely done!!
