- Rinse foie gras, pat dry, and throw away any tough membrane. Cut foie gras crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cover and chill.
- Trim off stems and bottom ends of persimmons. Cut each crosswise into 3 equal pcs. Lay a slice on each plate with a cluster of watercress sprigs.
- In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan, mix demi-glace, madeira, vinegar, and cream. Boil over high heat, stirring often, till 2/3 c., about 5 min. Put sauce in a small bowl; keep hot. Rinse and dry pan.
- Lay bread slices, side by side, in a 10- by 15-inch pan. Broil about 6 inches from heat till toasted on both sides, about 3 min total. Keep toast hot.
- Place frying pan over high heat; when very warm, add in foie gras. Brown slices lightly, turning once, about 1 minute total (fat spatters, so partially cover pan). Take off heat.
- Put toast on plates and top each slice with about 2 tsp. of foie gras fat. Top equally with foie gras.
- Drizzle hot sauce equally over foie gras. Season to taste with salt.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: Foie gras is easiest to handle when cool and hard. Make sauce (step 3) up to a day ahead; cover and chill, then reheat. As a less costly alternative to fresh foie gras, buy 1/2 lb. duck or possibly chicken liver pate or possibly mousse. Cut pate into 6 equal parts and spread on toast, then broil about 6 inches from heat just till pate begins to sizzle, about 2 min. Top with sauce.
