What it is
A luxurious delicacy of duck or goose liver, quickly pan-seared to achieve a crispy exterior and a meltingly rich interior. Traditionally served with sweet accompaniments like fruit compotes or brioche, this keto version is served simply with a sprinkle of sea salt and a small side of lightly dressed bitter greens to balance the richness.
Key ingredients
Foie gras (duck or goose liver), salt, pepper, mixed bitter greens (e.g., frisée, arugula), olive oil, red wine vinegar.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no sweet accompaniments (fruit compotes, sweet sauces, fig jam, etc.) and no brioche or toast. A simple side of un-sugared greens with oil and vinegar is ideal.
