Warm Salad with Smoked
Foie Gras, Lobster and Morels
1 small live Maine lobster (about 1¼ lb.)
1 carrot, trimmed and peeled
4 California endives, trimmed, rinsed, drained
½ small red onion, peeled
¼ cup foie gras fat (duck)
To taste -- salt and pepper
½ pound morels, rinsed and drained at least 3 times
½ garlic clove, crushed
24 finger size asparagus spears
2-3 drops balsamic vinegar
12 ounces smoked foie gras (duck)
Cook the lobster for 8 minutes. With a skimmer, remove
the lobster and cool. Break the claws and separate the
tail from the body. Remove the meat from the claws and
the tail. Set aside.
Cut the carrots, endives, and onion into thin ribbons,
and stir-fry in half the foie gras fat with salt and
pepper, for 4 to 5 minutes until soft. Reserve. Slice
and sauté the morels in the remaining foie gras fat.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic.
Peel and blanch the asparagus in salted water until
tender. Drain. Arrange the asparagus spears on 4
plates. Toss the warm vegetables with the morels, and
dress with a few drops of balsamic vinegar. Arrange
the warm vegetables on top of the asparagus spears and
cover with a 3-ounce slice of smoked foie gras. Slice
the lobster and decorate each plate with slices and
pieces of lobster.
