Recipe in harmony with a bottle of Amigne Douce de Vétroz Cuvée Maître de Chais

Foie gras terrine with Malvoisie Brindamour jam

The terrine

2 duck livers (approximately 500 g. each)
100 Malvoisie (malmsey) wine
40 g. fine sugar
18 g. Guérande sea salt
Ground pepper

Advice : Take the livers out two hours before preparation and leave them to soften at room temperature.


Préparation of wine jam
During the two-hour wait, in order to do so, cook the wine and sugar until syrupy.

Préparation of livers
1) Separate the two lobes and devein them with the help of the blunt side of a knife. Slide the knife gently over the veins.

2) Pass the separated pieces through a sieve and add to the livers.

3) Season the livers with the 18 g of salt, add a bit of ground pepper and half of the cooled jam. « Delicately mix it all together ».

4) Place the pieces of liver in a terrine lined with cellophane paper. Make sure that all small gaps are filled.

5) Close the cellophane over the liver and leave it to cool in the fridge for at least 12 hours.

6) After the 12 hours are up, heat the oven to 150 degrees and add the terrine in a cold bain-marie. Switch the oven off immediately and leave it to cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Take it out of the oven once a fatty layer has formed at the surface. « But not before 20 minutes »

7) Delicately remove the fat, put the terrine in the fridge and leave it to stand until the next day.

8) The second half of the jam is poured over the terrine upon serving, accompanied by toast and various types of lettuce leaves seasoned with a sliver of hazelnut oil and balsamic vinegar.

Trick 1 : The fat which was remove is "perfect" to keep for the browning of patatoes, for example.

Trick 2 : The terrine will be easier to cut with a knife that has first been dipped in hot water.


Enjoy !
