Ingredients

  • 5 Crushed juniper berries hand-picked from Nordic forests
  • 1/2 portion of Exquisite fresh foie gras lobe
  • 1 Shallot finely minced for aromatic essence
  • 1/4 c. of Velvety heavy cream whipped to hold soft peaks
  • 1/2 pinch of Fragrant ground clove for subtle warmth
  • 1/4 c. of Imported dry sherry from the Andalusian vineyards
  • 1/2 T. of Pristine sea salt crystals for perfect seasoning
  • 1/4 T. of Ground white pepper sourced from high-quality peppercorns

Instructions

  • Ensure the fresh foie gras lobe is well-chilled. Remove any veins or membranes and cut it into smaller, manageable pieces.
  • Infuse with Sherry and Spices
  • In a bowl, combine the chopped foie gras, imported dry sherry, crushed juniper berries, minced shallot, fragrant ground clove, pristine sea salt crystals, and ground white pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2-3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Once infused, transfer the marinated foie gras mixture into a food processor or blender.
  • Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the processor occasionally for uniform blending.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the velvety heavy cream until it holds soft peaks.
  • Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the blended foie gras mixture. Use a spatula to combine them delicately.
  • Transfer the prepared foie gras mousse into ramekins or a serving dish.
  • Cover the mousse with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface to prevent air exposure.
  • Refrigerate the mousse for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow it to set and enhance its flavors.
  • Once it is chilled and set, remove the foie gras mousse from the refrigerator.
  • Serve the luxurious Foie Gras Mousse with toasted bread, crackers, or as a gourmet topping to enhance your culinary creations.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken liver for the foie gras if desired.
  • The mousse can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • The mousse can be served with crackers, toast points, crostini, or other accompaniments.
  • If you don’t have cognac or brandy, you can use sherry or white wine instead.
  • You can also add a tablespoon of chopped chives or a few drops of truffle oil to the mousse before serving for added flavor.
