Caramelized foie gras in forest berry sauce

Foie gras is not just a classic, but a precise balance of flavors. Delicate duck liver with a golden crust remains soft inside, while caramelization with cane sugar adds a subtle crisp. 

A berry sauce of blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry, brings fresh acidity and balances the richness. Pear, stewed in red wine with honey, orange, and star anise, adds depth and brings the dish together.
