How to Cook Foie Gras Escalopes on Spice Bread
- Use a food blender to reduce the Pain d'épice (Spice Bread) to a coarse powder. Season the foie gras on both sides with salt crystals and freshly-ground black pepper. Then coat the foie gras with the spice bread crumbs, pressing lightly with your fingertips or the flat of your hand to help it adhere to the foie gras.
- Place the foie gras into a warm non-stick frying pan (add no fat or oil of any kind) and cook on a low heat for 4 to 5 minutes turning them during cooking. Place the escalopes on absorbent kitchen paper and keep warm.
- Use kitchen roll to wipe the pan free of excess grease then deglaze with the 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, leave it to reduce a little over a gentle heat.
- Place the escalopes of foie gras on plates, sprinkle with a few grains of sea salt and a few crushed pink baies (peppercorns). Pour a thin trace of the balsamic sauce around the foie gras.
- Serve and enjoy these escalope de foie gras au pain d'épice as an appetizer or main course with fried fruit (peaches, figs, apples) and a sweet wine, Coteaux du Layon from the Loire Valley for example

If you like the idea of cooked foie gras, but don't want to go to the trouble of making Pain d'Épice, you can use ready made Jamaica Ginger Cake or Ginger Loaf Cake. Your own home-made tastes much better but sometimes you must trade convenience for taste!
Reviews of Foie Gras Escalopes on Spice Bread
![]() No way I could find raw foie gras where i live but I was at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris and saw them in a shop, vacuum packed. So I bought a couple of packs and carried them home in my flight bag. I've used one pack to make this brilliant recipe and the other pack is in my freezer awaiting our next guests! The taste of this dish is absolutely sublime. There's no way I can easily describe it except to say that you've got to try it at least once before you die! moniqueS (4 reviews) |

Duck breasts are perfect for a quick stir-fry and can add a new dimesion to your cooking repertoire. The gentle spices make this recipe a keeper.

Magret (meaning lean) is the breast of a fatty duck fattened by force-feeding when producing confit and foie gras. But Oh Boy, does it taste good!

A different take on Shepherd's Pie or Cottage Pie, this duck version will delight your family and your guests alike.
