September 22, 2015 duck foie gras with red cipolini onions Sautéed in honey and lavender

At lunch I Sauteed two Italian sausages with PPI spaghetti and ate a plate of it with a glass of Cotes du Rhone.  

For dinner we made a special meal of some of the foie gras we bought in Bayeaux, France in June.   We clipped the top and bottom from four red cipolini onions and sliced a clove of garlic, cherry tomatoes.  Suzette Sautéed the onions and garlic while I sliced and toasted whole wheat bread and opened and cut the can of foie gras mousse into five slices. 

I placed a slice of foie gras on each piece of bread and then Suzette placed the Sautéed cipolini onions, honey, and lavender beside them.  I poured the last of the Pineau into glasses and we enjoyed an elegant light dinner. 

We also ate the PPI pickled cucumber and red onion salad I had made several days ago with the foie gras and garnished our plates with cherry tomatoes fresh from our garden to complete the meal.

After eating the foie gras, I decided to open the Isiney Ste Mere Brie I had bought at Costco.  I toasted additional slices of whole wheat sourdough bread and cut slices of Brie to cover the bread, which we ate with PPI red wine.

Bon Appetit
