What is Foie Gras?
Foie gras (pronounced fwah grah) is the fattened liver of a waterfowl (either duck or goose, but in our case, only duck) produced by a special feeding process. It results in a luxurious product that is at once velvety and meaty. Historically, foie gras has been cooked in a paté or terrine and served cold. The last decade has seen the gain in US popularity of serving foie gras seared hot with a fruit garnish.

Chef notes:

It is easiest to clean foie gras if it is at room temperature. It is best to slice it with a hot knife – run sharp knife under hot water between cuts. It has to be cold before searing so pop it in the freezer for 5 - 10 minutes after slicing or clean earlier in the day and keep slices refrigerated until ready to sear. Warm the plates the same way as the knife - run under hot water, then dry. After slicing, the leftover foie gras can be made into pate.
