Ingredients
Choux pastry :
Materials
- Piping bag (optional)
Preparation
In a pot, heat the water with the butter and salt. When the butter has melted, add the flour all at once and stir until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pot.
Remove from heat, and add the eggs one at a time, mixing each time. Stir vigorously, as the elasticity of the dough forms at this stage.
Using a piping bag, or spoons, shape the choux to the desired size. Beat the egg and brush the choux with it, rounding their shape nicely.
Bake for 25 minutes at 360°F. Be careful, at the end of baking, do not take them out of the oven directly, as they may deflate. Leave the oven door ajar for 10 minutes before removing them.
Cut the top off the choux and add a bit of onion chutney. Add a piece of foie gras and a little more onion chutney on top.
Close the choux. And there you have it, your foie gras and onion chutney puffs are ready!
Observations
What is the best way to ensure my choux pastry puffs rise properly?
To ensure your choux pastry puffs rise properly, make sure to bake them at the correct temperature and avoid opening the oven door during the first 20 minutes of baking. This helps maintain the steam needed for rising.
Can I prepare the puffs in advance and freeze them?
Yes, you can prepare the puffs in advance and freeze them before baking. Just make sure to bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I substitute for foie gras in this recipe?
If you're looking for a substitute for foie gras, consider using duck or chicken liver pâté, or even a rich mushroom pâté for a vegetarian option.
How do I know when the choux pastry is done baking?
The choux pastry is done baking when it is golden brown and firm to the touch. You can also gently tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
What are some variations I can try with the onion chutney?
You can experiment with different types of chutneys, such as apple or fig chutney, or even add spices like ginger or chili for a unique twist on the flavor profile.
