Terrine de Foie Gras
Pan-Seared Foie Gras with Keto Berry Coulis
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely essential to omit brioche toast, any other bread, and all sugary fruit jams, compotes, or chutneys. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 French dishes.
What it is
A luxurious delicacy of rich, buttery pan-seared duck or goose liver. Traditionally served with sweet brioche toast or a sugary fruit compote. For a keto approach, these high-carb accompaniments are replaced with a minimal-sugar berry coulis or simply a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper.
Key ingredients
Duck or goose foie gras, sea salt, black pepper. Optional: a small amount of low-sugar mixed berry coulis (made with keto sweetener).
How to make it keto
Absolutely essential to omit brioche toast, any other bread, and all sugary fruit jams, compotes, or chutneys. If a coulis is desired, inquire if a no-sugar-added berry coulis (sweetened with keto-friendly alternatives) can be provided. Otherwise, enjoy simply seasoned.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans brioche, toasts, confiture ni conserves de fruits, s'il vous plaît.
No brioche, toast, jam, or fruit preserves, please.
Watch out for
Accompanying brioche/bread, sugary fruit compotes, hidden sugars in any reductions or sauces served alongside.
