Bananas:
- 2 Tablespoons butter

To Assemble and Serve::
- 4 slices grade A foie gras, cut 3/4-inch thick
- 8 leaves arugula, chiffonade
- 10 leaves basil, chiffonade
- 2 ounces julienned daikon radish
- 2 ounces julienned daikon radish
- 4 slices whole wheat toast
Method:
For the Marshmallow:
The day before, combine gelatin and ½ cup of cold water in
an electric mixer bowl with a whisk attachment, and let stand 30
minutes. In a small heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt,
and ½ cup of water. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar
has dissolved. Wash down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry
brush to dissolve the sugar crystals and clip on a candy thermometer
to the side of the pan. Over high heat, bring the syrup to firm
ball stage at 244°F. Immediately remove the pan from the heat.
Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the syrup into the gelatin.
Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until mixture is thick
and has almost tripled in volume, about 15 minutes. Add black pepper
and beat until incorporated. Pour the marshmallow mixture into another
pan, dust with confectioner’s sugar, and let stand overnight uncovered.
Cut into 1½–inch squares and reserve.
For the Cascabel Sauce:
Combine onion, chile, sugar, salt and water, bring to a simmer and cook 30 minutes. Cool, transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Reserve.
For the Bananas:
Combine butter and honey. In a pan over medium heat, sauté the bananas in honey butter for 20 seconds. Add a drizzle of the Cascabel Sauce and cook for another 20 seconds.
To Assemble and Serve:
In a sauté pan over high heat, sear the foie gras on both sides. Dress the arugula, basil and daikon salad with the Dressing and season. Place Bananas in the center of a plate and lay toast on top. Place a small amount of dressed salad over the toast and top with foie gras. Lay marshmallow on top and brown top with a blow torch.
