Terrine of Duck 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. Ariane recommends dipping a knife into hot water before slicing to get the cleanest cut.

A sweet wine such as Sauternes makes a natural and elegant pairing. Try this terrine as an ingredient in your favorite recipes that call for foie gras, whether a stuffing or salad. 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.
