Sommelier’s tip

 Chablis Premier Cru

This dish offers a skilled combination of flavors and textures between the tender foie gras, the acidity of the olives and capers, and the crispy bread.  The minerality and aromatic subtlety of a Chablis Premier Cru perfectly highlights the balance of this dish.

METHOD

Olive-caper condiment : Chop the ingredients and mix together.

 

Ponzu breadcrumbs : Soak the slices of bread in the liquid ingredients. Leave to dry and then process.

 

Bread crisp : Slice the bread thinly. Wrap around a 1cm-diameter stainless-steel tube. Bake at 170°C for four minutes and then remove from the tube. Set aside.

 

Finishing : Cut the foie gras into four rectangular portions and coat with the ponzu breadcrumbs. Garnish with the condiment and place the bread crisp on top.
