Foie Gras is a specialty food made from the fattened liver of a duck or goose. It is one of the most famous French delicacies and is enjoyed all over the world. It tastes rich, smooth, and melts in the mouth as soon as it’s tasted. It is a luxurious dish but you can easily serve it at home for your guests or when you are in the mood to have a fancy dinner. All you have to know is how to serve it and these are a few tricks on how to serve foie gras.

·       Temperature

It is very important to serve Foie Gras at the right temperature or else it loses its entire flavor. It is advised that the cold preparation of foie gras is taken out of the fridge a little before it is served, about 15-20 minutes. Before slicing, put the bowl in hot water for a few minutes so the edges become soft and it’s easier to cut. If you want a hot preparation, make sure that the contact with heat is minimum as the high-fat contact makes it prone to burning.

·       Slicing

With a cold preparation like a mousse or parfaits, cut the preparation into thin slices, approximately 1 cm after it comes out of the fridge. This is the perfect size for that melt-in-the-mouth texture. For pan-seared, roasted, or sauteed is also very common they should be about one and a half inch or 15mm to 25mm. This size is advised to that when it is put on flame, the outside becomes crispy while the core remains soft which tastes heavenly. Size is very important if you want to know how to serve foie gras.
