The fresh, raw duck or goose liver known as foie gras is from specially
raised fowl that produce this large and fat liver much different in size
than the ordinary ducks liver. Generally sold as grades A, B, or C where
Grade A being the best and most expensive. Grade A foie gras is usually
free of most blemishes and imperfections and requires the least time to
clean of any veins and bile. All three grades will require some hand
cleaning with a small paring knife. After the foie gras has been cleaned,
it should be cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices weighing approximately 2 to 3
ounces each. Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil. Add the shallots,
jalapeno, raisins, garlic, ginger, salt and simmer 5 minutes. Add the
peaches and simmer an additional 5 minutes before removing from the heat.
Cool for 15 minutes, then serve or transfer to a clean container and
refrigerate for up to one week. Season the sliced foie gras with salt and
pepper just immediately before cooking. Heat a clean, dry heavy-bottomed
saute pan until very hot. Place the foie gras in the pan and sear quickly
on both sides. Serve on a bed of warm peach relish with sliced baguette
croutons. This recipe yields 1 1/2 cups peach relish and 4 to 6 appetizer
servings.
