Ingredients

Lobster risotto:

Foie Gras Butter:

  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 diced shallot
  • 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorn
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound unsalted butter cut into large dice
  • 4 ounces diced A or B grade foie gras

Vegetable accompaniment:

Halibut:

  • 8 (6-ounce) pieces halibut
  • 2 ounces olive oil

Directions

For the Risotto: In a medium saucepot, saute onions in olive oil on low heat until translucent and tender. Add rice and stir until coated with oil. Add wine and continue to stir until the rice has absorbed most of the wine. Add lobster broth 1/2 cup at a time, while constantly stirring. When the rice is almost tender, add cooked lobster meat, butter, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.

For the Foie Gras Butter: Place wine, shallot, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a saucepot and bring to a boil. Reduce until almost dry. Add cream and reduce by 1/2. Over a medium flame, slowly add butter while constantly whisking until all the butter is emulsified. Be careful not to boil. In a separate pan, sear diced foie gras until evenly browned. Whisk rendered foie gras and rendered fat slowly into the spice-butter mixture. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pan, and then add the chanterelle mushrooms. Cook until almost tender. Add corn and cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Saute halibut in olive oil in frying pan until cooked. Season with salt and pepper.

When plating this dish, place a generous spoonful of the lobster risotto in the center of the plate. Place the halibut on top of the risotto. Ladle 2 ounces of foie gras butter around the fish and risotto. Sprinkle the vegetable mixture around the fish and risotto. Garnish with cherry tomatoes

    The recipe sounds interesting but instead of foie gras butter, it should say foie gras buerre blanc(stabilized with heavy cream. Just two cents coming from a chef who loves foie and butter : Fat makes everything better(in moderation!

    Foie Gras is created by force feeding ducks and geese who are confined to cages until their livers get so big they die. Food network should not show recipes with ingredients that are created by such cruelty!
