WHEN SERVING FOIE GRAS ?
HOW TO SERVE FOIE GRAS ?
Our Chef's precious advice and some golden rules Definitely, at the beginning of the meal. Make sure that your palate will
appreciate it properly. Avoid a combination with any dish high in acidity, such
as a seasonned salad or anything similar.
Foie gras has to be placed in a refrigerator some hours before serving, but not in the freezer.
Use a thin and sharp knife or spoon to cut it, dipped into hot water, and wiped before cutting each slice.
As a starter, serve between 40 to 60g per person.
Take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving.
Our Chef's trick
To be able to pay all your attention to your guests, prepare your plate
beforehand.
After having sliced the Foie Gras, pour on each slice a thin sheet of madeira aspic to avoid oxydation.
Back in the refrigiretor, the Foie Gras is ready to be served.
Do not forget to take it out 15 minutes prior to the meal.
