Mango Chutney for Pâté de Foie Gras

Maurice and Anne-Juliette Belicha, together with their two young daughters, lead a Jewish life, bringing their kosher meat from Paris and only using bio (organic) products, in the Dordogne. While Maurice is producing kosher foie gras (see page 47), Anne-Juliette is trying to realize her dream of opening a kosher bed-and-breakfast in the Dordogne. She makes this delicious mango chutney, which marries well with both her husband’s foie gras and with chopped liver.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    2 cups

Ingredients

1 tablespoon safflower or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon red peppercorns
1 shallot, diced
1 large ripe mango
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan. Add the peppercorns and the shallot, and sauté over low heat for 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    In the meantime, peel the mango and cut it into 1/2-inch cubes. Add the mango to the shallot and continue sautéing. Sprinkle the sugar over, splash in the red-wine vinegar, and simmer for 10 minutes. Cover, and cook on very low heat for 40 minutes, or until the mango becomes a marmalade. Cool, discard the peppercorns, and serve as an appetizer with foie gras.
