To burn it off
Foie gras is the fattened liver of a duck or goose, and in France it belongs on the table at Christmas and New Year's Eve, sliced and spread on toast or gingerbread with a sweet wine.
A starter portion is about 230 kcal, with 22 g of fat, 4 g of protein and 2 g of carbs. It is almost all fat, which is why it is that smooth.
The toast and the glass of Sauternes or champagne next to it are extra, and they are part of the fun.
Tips
- 1A thin slice tastes the same as a thick one. It is rich enough that you won't miss it.
- 2Have it on thin toast or a cracker instead of brioche.
