Foei Gras

You will only can find this kind of dish during the fiesta or celebration like Christmas, new year or some other special celebration, you can named it.

for most of American people (that I knew), they wouldn't dare to eat this kind of dish one of the reason is because they always think first how unfriendly / inhuman they treat the duck to get the big liver.. for myself, thank you very much, I don't want to know the detail..I just want to enjoy the delicious dish in front of me.

Ingredients

  • 600g duck liver
  • 2 figue , cut in two
  • pinch of Salt 
  • pinch of Pepper

Method

  1. Cut away and discard any large sinews from the livers, then set the livers aside. 
  2. Cut the figue in 2, 
  3. Season the livers generously, then tip the contents of the terinne  and blitz until smooth. Push the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, taste for seasoning, then tip into a serving dish, banging the dish down on the tabletop to smooth out the surface. Place in the fridge cover it ( leave in the fridge around 2 hours )            
  4. Reheat the oven 150C  and place the terinne foei gras in bain marie ( water bath ) about 1 hour
