These tartlets are a gourmet way to enjoy vanilla-flavored Foie Gras. The combination of foie gras and mango offers a delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a festive appetizer.

Ingredients:

  • 150g vanilla foie gras
  • 1 ready-to-use puff pastry
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 shallot
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A few salad leaves for decoration

Preparation:

Preparation of the Mango Chutney:

    • Peel and pit the mango, then dice finely.
    • Finely chop the shallot.
    • In a saucepan, sauté the shallot with the brown sugar until translucent.
    • Add the diced mango and cider vinegar. Cook for ten minutes or so, until you obtain a compote-like consistency. Set aside in a cool place.

Preparing the Tartelettes:

      • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
      • Roll out the puff pastry and cut out circles with a cookie cutter. Place them in tartlet molds and prick the bottoms with a fork.
      • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Leave to cool.

Assembling the Tartelettes:

    • Cut the vanilla Foie Gras into thin slices or small cubes, as you prefer.
    • On each tartlet base, add a teaspoon of mango chutney and place a portion of Foie Gras on top.
    • Garnish each tartlet with a small salad leaf for freshness and a touch of color.

Service:

    • Serve the tartlets as appetizers, accompanied by a small green salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette to balance the flavors.

Tip:

  • You can add spices (such as cinnamon or ginger) to the mango chutney for extra flavor.
  • If you have time, marinate the diced foie gras in a little vanilla rum to enhance the vanilla flavour.

And there you have it, a delicious tartlet recipe that skilfully combines foie gras with vanilla and mango for an elegant and tasty starter!
