  • 4 round Toasted Croutons, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter
  • 1/4 cup minced shallots
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup port wine
  • 1/4 cup peeled and chopped Italian plum tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons salt, in all
  • 12 turns freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups Veal Stock or

  • 12 ounces foie gras (duck or goose liver), cut into 4 slices about 1/2 inch thick

  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the foie gras with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, spreading evenly on both sides of the each slice. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot.

  • Heat the oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the greens and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 6 turns pepper and wilt the greens, tossing, for about 60 seconds. Remove from the heat.
  • To serve, place 1 crouton on each of 4 plates and top with 1 slice of foie gras. Divide the greens into 4 servings and arrange around the foie gras. Spoon 1/4 cup of the sauce over each slive of foie gras.
