Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Gelatin

    Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Foie Gras

    Remove any veins from the foie gras, then cut it into small pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, add the diced shallots, and pour in the cognac. Mix gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Process Ingredients

    In a food processor, pulse the foie gras mixture until smooth. Add the pork fatback and process until well combined and creamy.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Gelatin

    Gently heat the soaked gelatin in a small saucepan over low heat until melted. Stir it into the foie gras mixture until evenly distributed.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Layering

    Line a terrine mold with plastic wrap, leaving excess hanging over the sides. Pour half of the foie gras mixture into the mold, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  2. 6

    Add Smoked Duck

    Slice the smoked duck breast thinly and layer it over the foie gras mixture in the terrine mold. Pour the remaining foie gras mixture on top, smoothing it out.

  3. 7

    Cover and Chill

    Fold the excess plastic wrap over the top of the terrine. Place a weight on top (like a can) and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or overnight, to set.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Once set, carefully unwrap the terrine and slice it into even pieces. Serve chilled with slices of baguette, cornichons, and mixed greens on the side.
