Only 3 ingredients and some bread and you'll become the Magician Superstar of your kitchen, house, neighbourhood, village, town... get the idea? Just say the magic words: Abra Ka Dabra, or Hockus Pockus or Alakazaaaam! and make sure to have the ingredients, if you don't, the magic won't work ;-). But, if you have them, get ready to experience a palate sensorial climax!!!I'm assuming you like contrasts because this is the point of the dish: sweet and salty together in perfect harmony. Make sure you have Foie Micuit, some Figs, Maldon Salt and some crunchy Bread. Spread the foie on top of the bread (be generous), add some maldon salt on it, peel the figs and cut as you see in the picture and place on top. Sprinkle with just a bit more of salt.
You can have 20 like this done in no time!!!! Any parties in sight? This could be one of the appetizers. Your guests will be delighted :D
First time we dared to leave our baby with my parents she was one year and a half and such a good little girl. My man and I escaped to a beautiful XVII - XVIII century Castle in the middle of nowhere but still, near the beach, with amazing suites, rooms, gardens and most of all amazing owners and cook!
This place will be forever in my heart: the food was a symphony to our senses, the suite was soooo beautifully decorated, the surroundings were peaceful and bright... Abra Ka Dabra... Magic! Antonio Ferrer and his wife Teresa Escayola run L'Odissea de L'Empordà with Art!
He is one of the best cooks I ever met: Original, fun, daring... a great experience! When he started with his first restaurant, many of his clients were artists, therefore, didn't have much money, but they paid with sculptures and paintings. Now the Castle is like an eclectic museum... a wonder!
Some years have passed since that first time (10 1/2) and I still remember a phrase from Antonio. We were talking about food, of course, and he was complaining about the people that would ask for a complete wonderful menu for the adults and ask for macaroni or sausages and chips for the kids... he exclaimed... give foie to the kids, they are not stupid and they will appreciate it, give foie to the kids!!! He was so true! Give foie to your kids, teach their palates and they will be able to appreciate and enjoy all kinds of diverse food.
This is my entry for Eat Healthy - Protein Rich Contest. Sangeeth from Art of Cooking Indian Food has this contest going on until July the 30th, please join in or simply visit her blog!
100 grs. of foie contain 518 calories, 33% of water, 4 to 7% of protein, 10% of Glucids and 42 to 50% of fat. Contrary to what's been said until now, recent research has proved that the majority of the fats are not saturated (only 28,6% are saturated), the rest are the "good" fat that won't increase our cholesterol levels. However, this is a very satiating food and eating a lot would do no good.
