Foie Gras is a very popular festive season food here in France. This recipe is delicious and, to make things even better, very quick and easy to prepare.

8 escalopes foie gras (about 400g total)

300g mirabelles, frozen
250g small white onions, frozen
25g butter
1 tsp sugar
1 dstspn flour
Salt and pepper

Put the onions in a frying pan and add water to just cover them. Add the butter and sugar.

Bring to boiling point and let the liquid reduce to almost nothing. Turn the onions in the remaining juice to enable them to caramelise. Salt, pepper and flour the escalopes. Put them in a hot frying pan, without any fat, and cook to half done.

Take them out of the pan, discard the grease, put the escalopes back in the pan and add the mirabelles (previously thawed in the microwave) and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve straightaway.
