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 - 10.6 oz
Onion - 3.5 oz
Chicken Egg - 3 pieces
Whole egg - 6 pieces
Sugar - 1.4 oz
Butter - 4.2 oz
Wheat Flour - 1.8 oz
Green Apples - 3 pieces
Star anise - 1 piece
Vegetable Oil - 2 spoons
Demi-Glace Sauce - 1.8 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 356°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.
