Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Foie gras fingers
Prepare the shortcrust pastry with sesame seeds by mixing 1 cup flour, 23 cup butter, 1 Egg, 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ cup sesame seeds in a food processor bowl.

Mix until homogeneous, then form into a thick cake and wrap in stretch plastic film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Stage 2 - 2 hours
Foie gras fingers
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Roll out the pastry into a large rectangle as evenly as you can (to avoid offcuts as far as possible). Prick all over.

Stage 3 - 20 min.
Foie gras fingers
Bake the pastry until it is golden brown.

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Stage 4 - 5 min.
Foie gras fingers
Cut the pastry into strips about 1 cm (1/2 inch) wide using a knife with a serrated blade.

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Foie gras fingers
Cut these strips into pieces around 4 cm (2 inches) long.

Stage 6 - 5 min.
Foie gras fingers
Cut the foie gras into pieces barely the size of the pastry and about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick.

Stage 7 - 10 min.
Foie gras fingers
Assemble the fingers by placing each piece of foie gras on a piece of pastry.

Keep in the fridge, but take them out 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavour of the foie gras to develop fully.

Stage 8
Foie gras fingers
Possible variation: put a thinner slice of foie gras between 2 pieces of pastry that has been scattered with grated gruyère before baking.

Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...
