How to Pan-Sear FoieGood Ethical Foie Gras Escalopes

Short answer: Use a fully heated dry pan, cook the four 30g FoieGood escalopes according to the pack and pair each portion with something sharp or bitter to balance the richness.

The pre-cut format removes the most difficult part of portioning a raw lobe. The main technical task is heat control: enough to caramelise the surface without rendering away the centre.

Key takeaways

• Keep the escalopes frozen until the pan and garnishes are ready.
• Use a dry, properly heated pan; the foie supplies its own fat.
• Cook in a single uncrowded layer and follow the current pack timing.
• Balance each 30g portion with fruit acidity, bitter leaves or pickles.
