Liver Flan
Appetizers • Italian
Description
A culinary trick. Flan is a classic Spanish dessert, something between crème caramel and mousse—light, sweet, and delicate. When prepared correctly, liver can take on a surprisingly sweet flavor. This recipe incorporates anise and apples (as a garnish) along with flour and eggs, resulting in a fluffy liver cake. To bring it back to its meaty roots, the flan is drizzled with a demi-glace upon serving.
Ingredients
- Veal Liver 10 oz
- Onion 5 oz
- Chicken Egg 3 pieces
- Whole egg 6 pieces
- Sugar 0 oz
- Butter 5 oz
- Wheat Flour 0 oz
- Green Apples 3 pieces
- Star anise 1 piece
- Vegetable Oil 2 spoons
- Demi-Glace Sauce 0 oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Chop the onion and sauté it in a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pass it through a meat grinder along with the liver. Mix the eggs, egg yolks, flour, 35 grams of sugar, and butter using a mixer, then add it to the liver mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Distribute the mixture into muffin tins and bake for 15 minutes at 355°F.
Step 2
Remove the seeds from the apples. Slice a quarter of one apple into very thin wedges. Peel the remaining apples, cut them into large cubes, and sauté them in vegetable oil. At the end, add star anise and a generous pinch of sugar.
Step 3
Arrange the flan, sautéed apples, slices of raw apple, and pickled vegetables on plates. Drizzle with hot demiglace.
