Jauronimo Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Â Am I able to alter the recipe at all? Rettata with a sage brown butter, splash of pickled leek brine, and topped with a fried duck egg. Bon appetite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Actually I have some pickled spring onion juice from onions I brined last year. I'll work some foie gras in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which...I made some kick ass chicken liver pate' for Christmas last year (isn't that what foie gras is? But duck liver I think).

Â Foie is liver gras is fat in French. So foie gras is fat liver. They "force feed" the ducks and geese to fatten up their livers. Â So chicken liver pate would be pate de foie des volaille. I always have some on hand. If I see chicken livers at the store I buy them and freeze them. Make about 4 pounds at a time, put them in small mason jars and top with duck fat to seal. it. And my wife makes bread that we spread it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how we have it as well...the store slices a baguette into little slices, brush some olive oil on and make little crisps. The pate' recipe I used calls for saute in butter and dry sherry so the pate' has a nice sherry flavor to it (no offense to any of you with wives named Sherry...I never met her).

Chef Jim Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Â Not trying to creep you out... Â but that lonza does look good. Â It was good. It's very easy to make but the key is good meat. I have a rancher whose meat I use that is at a local farmer's market. French culinary secrets hacked ?
