Chef Josh Fuehr, the executive chef at Mirable in North Scottsdale, shared his Foie Gras Sliders and Potato Chips recipes with Fabulous Arizona! Check out the recipe below.
Foie Gras Sliders
Ingredients:
- Brioche Hamburger Rolls
- Grade A Foie Gras
- 2 Tablespoons Black Current Jam
- 2 Tablespoons Clarified Butter
- ¼ Cup Micro Arugula
- 1 Teaspoon White Truffle Oil
- TT Smoked Sea Salt
- TT Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Method:
Clean the Foie Gras thoroughly. Portion in to 4 oz pieces and score in a cross hatch pattern. Sear in a hot pan with no oil until golden brown on each side. Cut and toast your bun in clarified butter to get a nice crispy texture. Toss your micro arugula with the white truffle oil, salt and fresh cracked black pepper and set aside. Assemble the sliders in the order of: bottom bun, foie gras, current jam, micro arugula and top bun. Serve with house made potato chips and enjoy.
Black Current Jam
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Black Currents
- 2 Brunios Shallots
- 1 Teaspoon Tarragon
- 4 Tablespoons Red Wine
- 3 Tablespoons Turbinado Sugar
Method:
Start with the shallots and sauté in a large pan until translucent. Add the currents, red wine and sugar and cook until it resembles jam. Then add the tarragon, salt and pepper to taste.
Potato Chips
Ingredients:
- 3 Fingerling Potatoes
- Salt
- Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Method:
Slice the fingerling potatoes very thin on a Japanese Mandolin. Deep fry at 350 degrees until golden brown. Season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Fois Gras Cooking Tips From Chef Josh
- Always use high quality, Grade-A Foie Gras
- Let the foie come to room temperature before you start working with it
- Be sure to clean the foie gras well, removing the entire membrane and all veins
- Always use a very hot pan to sear the foie – it shouldn’t take long to brown both sides
