Steps for Guillaume Le Bozec 's foie gras passion quenelles

  1. Prepare the foie gras quenelles: devein the foie gras, open the lobes, season with salt, pepper and rum to taste, then roll the foie gras into a ballottine (form a sausage in the cling film, pressing tightly).
  2. Vacuum-cook the foie gras for 30 minutes at 80°C in a large volume of water: wrap the ballottine in an airtight freezer bag, and gently plunge the bag into the bath, holding it open. The water pressure will naturally expel the air, then close the bag. Once cooked, remove the film and work the foie gras with the leaf of the mixer.
  3. Remove the foil and pipe the foie gras dough into quenelle molds using a smooth piping bag. Set in the freezer, then remove from the molds.
  4. Prepare the passion fruit lacquer: mix and boil the passion fruit juice, mango juice and vegetable gelatine. Prick the foie gras with a toothpick. Dip into the jellied juice. Remove to a plate.
  5. Make the mango coulis: mix together the mango, teriyaki and sukiyaki sauces and a dash of ginger.
  6. Prepare the condiments: mix the vinaigrette ingredients with 50 cl of hot water. Cut the mango into diamonds, slice the shiitake mushrooms and remove the earthy stems from the enoki mushrooms. Pour the hot vinaigrette over the three separate ingredients.
  7. Arrange the foie gras quenelles on the plates, add the condiments and dots of mango coulis.
