Ingredients

• 4 slices (about 2 oz each) Foie gras
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 medium (thinly sliced) Yellow onions
• 2 heads Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 4 slices (optional, for serving) Toasted brioche or baguette slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice off the tops of the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic, wrap each head in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes or until they begin to caramelize.

Step 4

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the skillet with the onions. Stir in the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and water. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and achieves a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Season the foie gras slices with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.

Step 6

Heat a dry nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Carefully place the foie gras slices in the pan and sear for about 30-45 seconds per side, or until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove immediately and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Step 7

To serve, place a spoonful of roasted garlic onion jam on each plate (or on individual slices of toasted brioche or baguette, if using). Top with a seared foie gras slice. Serve warm and enjoy the rich, decadent flavors.
