Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Gently devein the Duck Foie Gras, being careful not to break it apart.
In a bowl, combine the chopped Dried Figs, Port Wine, and Cognac. Let macerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the Salt, Black Pepper, and Nutmeg.
Cut the Foie Gras into roughly equal pieces and season with the seasoning mixture.
In a food processor, combine the seasoned Foie Gras and macerated Figs with their liquid. Pulse until a coarse paste forms. Do not overprocess.
Gently fold in the Heavy Cream.
Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the terrine. Pour the foie gras mixture into the pan and press down firmly.
Fold the plastic wrap over the top of the terrine and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow it to set.
To serve, invert the terrine onto a plate, remove the plastic wrap, and slice.
