Roasted Duck Liver with Porcini Chestnuts and Shallots in a Sauce of Vermouth

(Fegato D'Anatra Al Forno Con Castagne E Porcini In Salsa Di Vermouth)
Adapted from Robert Donna by StarChefs

Yield: serves 6

Ingredients:

For the liver:

  • 1 lb. of duck liver
  • 5 thyme stalks
  • 2 rosemary stalks
  • 12 shallots peeled
  • 2 garlic cloves

For the chestnuts:

  • 4 cups of peanut oil
  • 26 chestnuts
  • 3 oz. of butter
  • 1/4 cup of chicken concourse
  • 1 thyme stalk
  • 4 black peppercorns
  • 1 1/2 cup of vermouth
  • 1/4 cup of cream

    To Prepare:
    To prepare the chestnuts, place an incision on them side ways with a small knife. Place the oil in a medium size sauce pan and bring it to the frying point. Place the chestnuts in the oil and cook for five minutes. Drain and place on a towel for four minutes, until you can start to peel them completely of the skin. Peel, and in a cast iron pot, place the butter and saute the chestnuts until they attain a nice golden color. Remove the chestnuts from the pot and set them aside. Sauté the liver with the herbs, and it has attained a nice color, add the rest of the ingredients, the chestnuts, and the vermouth. Cover and cook for 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Remove the liver, and add cream to the pot.

    To Serve:
    Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes after cream has been added, and serve.
