Foie Gras and Pear Sashimi

Ingredients

• 375 ml bottle of French Sauternes wine
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1.5 pound Foie Gras ( I use Hudson Valley Foie Gras)
• 32 oz. cooked sushi rice
• 3-4 packages Nori (smaller snack sizes are easier)
• 2 red pears (Bartlett will work just fine as well), thinly sliced
• Pickled Ginger (optional)

Directions

1. First, reduce an entire 375 ml bottle of any French Sauternes wine, with a little soy sauce, and sugar for the glaze on this sushi. Whisk for about five minutes. Allow to cool and set aside.
2. Next, use a small sheet of nori, a handful of sushi rice, and a thin slice of pear.
3. On a large pan, sear the foie and place on the pear and generously top with the ice cider glaze.
4. Finally, add pickled ginger if desired, fold up the two sides of nori like a bun and scarf it like a hot dog
