Duck liver, onion and scallops toast

Ingredients:
  • french bread "baguette"
  • fresh duck liver (not processed into foie gras)
  • sea scallops (i.e., at least 3-4 cm diameter; 1-1½ inch)
  • very thinly sliced onion rings
  • olive oil
Instructions:
  • cut the bread (on the bias, if preferred) into 1-1½ cm thick slices
  • slice the scallops into thin medallions (3 mm, 1/8 inch)
  • briefly (10 sec!) heat up the slices in a skillet with a very small amount of olive oil
  • slowly fry the onions in olive oil until soft and translucent (not golden)
  • toast the bread slices until golden on both sides
  • cut liver into slices that cover the bread, and are about 1 cm thick (3/8 inch)
  • briefly heat up under the broiler (but should not get thin and run off the bread)
  • cover with a tablespoon of the onions
  • cover with 2 slices of scallops
  • briefly heat up under the broiler
