| | Foie Gras | | Origin: French | | Literally French for "fat liver", this term refers to the rich pateĀ“ made from the liver of ducks and geese that have been force-fed and fattened until their livers become enlarged.
The south-west of France is the major foie gras producing area and the method of production isn't practised in Britain. After preparation, the livers are soaked overnight before being marinated in Armagnac, port or Madeira, depending on the chef's recipe.
Foie gras is sold fresh or cooked. For cooked foie gras, the livers are baked in a bain-marie and then chilled. It's a great French delicacy, and very expensive. Foie gras has a rich flavour and the texture is silky smooth. It's usually served in thin slices at the start of a meal with a sweet wine. It has become more widely available to buy in recent years - fresh or mi-cuit (partially preserved) and in cans.
In recent years, concerns about animal welfare have turned many people, chefs and restaurant-goers alike, against the practice of force-feeding geese and ducks. |
