SEARED GOOSE LIVER AND LINGONBERRY JAM ON BRIOCHE TOAST
Ingredients:
3 large brioche or challah loaves, crusts removed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, or to taste 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups lingonberry jam or spread
3 boxes of 100g Golden Goose Liver
Preparation:
Cut
brioche into 1,5cm thick slices, then into 60
(2x2 cm) cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon butter with 2 tablespoons oil in a
30cm nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Cook
brioche
cubes, 12 at a time, until golden brown on top and bottom, about 3
minutes
total. Transfer brioche as cooked to a rack to cool and sprinkle with
salt to
taste. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean with paper towels
and add
more butter and oil. Stir pepper and juice into jam. Chill jam,
covered, until
ready to use. Preheat oven to 200°C.
Cut goose liver into 2,5 by 1,5 cm pieces and season
with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 30cm nonstick skillet
over
moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Reduce heat to moderate
and warm up goose liver, about 20 pieces at a time, until golden brown
on both sides,
about 1 minute total. Transfer goose liver as cooked to a shallow
baking pan
with a spatula and arrange in 1 layer. Between batches, carefully wipe
skillet
clean.
Reheat goose liver as needed in middle of oven 1
minute, or until just hot, before assembling hors d'oeuvres. Just before
serving, top toasts with lingonberry jam, then goose liver. Lingonberry jam topping may be made 2 days ahead and
chilled, covered. |
