Ingredients
  

  • 1 capon 5 kilo, including offal
  • 1 onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 shallots
  • 250 gr. bread approximately
  • 5 milk
  • 300 gr. raw foie gras

Instructions
 

  • Reserve capon offal.
  • Peel onion and cut in two part. Peel carrot and slice.
  • Bring to a boil in a very very large casserole dish enough water with onion, carrot and salt, in order to cover half of the capon. My casserole dish wasn't big enough to cover it enterely.
  • Add capon and poach, meaning cook it 40 minutes or 20 minutes on each side, if like me your casserole isn't big enought to cover entirely your poultry.
  • Remove from water and leave to cool capon.
  • In the meantime, prepare stuffing.
  • In a pan, fry offal with 2 shallots peeled and sliced. Chop finely and reserve.
  • Dice bread and soak into milk.
  • Dice foie gras, after removing vein.
  • Mix bread, foie gras and offal in a large recipient. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff your capon.
  • Sew the hole with cooking string and needle (or toothpick) so the stuffing doesn't leave your capon.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Cook for 1 hour and reduce to 150°C for approximately 2 hours.
