Named for the vessel in which it is cooked, the terrine of foie gras is a classic in French cuisine. A whole raw foie gras is tucked into a terrine and essentially steamed in its own juices at a low temperature in this preparation. The result is an incredibly creamy, delicate bloc of foie gras. Our simple recipe includes salt, pepper, sugar and Sauternes wine, an elegant sweet wine from South West France. Sauternes is distinctive for its balance of sweetness and acidic zing, which also makes it the perfect wine to drink with foie gras.
This foie gras terrine makes a great appetizer when served on brioche or toast points with a sweet-tart jam or jelly such as prune, fig or apricot compote. Or use as an ingredient in your favorite recipes that call for foie gras, whether it's in stuffing or salads. A balsamic vinegar and port reduction makes a perfect drizzle on a slice of this delectable foie gras terrine. Sprinkle a few grains of coarse fleur de sel to brighten all the flavors.
Our foie gras is produced from Moulard ducks raised in a low-stress environment on a 200-acre farm in New York State. The ducks eat a whole-grain diet of corn, soy and fresh clean water, with no hormones or antibiotics ever used.

"This recipe offers a creative and simple way to use our signature smoked duck breast. We just love how the walnuts, foie gras and smokiness of the duck breast combine in each mouthful. Just don't skip the walnut oil. It's a bit pricier than other oils, but the intense flavor is worth it! "
"The most simple, and pure preparation of foie gras, the terrine does not need much to bring it over the top."
