Foie gras with ceps

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 150C/gas 2.

2. Heat a pan until very hot. Do not add oil at this stage. Place the thyme and whole garlic cloves into the dry pan.

3. Using a sharp knife, cut a sliver of foie gras from the base and add to the pan. Heat for 2 minutes.

4. Place the remaining foie gras on its side in the pan. It's very important to keep turning it around so that no one side is overdone. Cook for 6-7 minutes, then remove from the pan and season with salt, pepper and more thyme. Place in the oven for 20 minutes.

5. Fry the ceps in the remaining foie gras oil until golden brown. Remove from the pan and allow to drain.

6. Remove the foie gras from the oven and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

7. For the dressing: mix the sherry vinegar and foie gras oil.

8. To serve: place the foie gras on a serving plate. Arrange the ceps around the edge and drizzle the dressing over the dish. Garnish with thyme flowers and garlic cress.

9. Slice the loaf of brioche and toast. Serve in a separate dish to accompany the foie gras.

Cook's note
It's great to save some of the foie gras oil and use for crispy roasties etc.
