    Enjoy foie gras in all its forms

    in Sarlat

    In Sarlat, foie gras knows no limits! Mousse, pâtés, foie gras entier, foie gras, bloc de foie gras… Not to mention the many specialities containing foie gras: stuffed duck breast or goose neck, medallions, galantines (containing 50 % of foie gras) and many other variations!

    To ensure a certified origin of the Périgord, look for the IGP label “Canard à foie gras du Sud-Ouest”. For a stronger taste, farmers recommend duck foie gras. Goose foie gras offers a milder flavour.

    So how to prepare foie gras ?

    Sterilised (for longer conservation) or lightly cooked (in a terrine or vacuum-packed) for a more immediate meal, it may also be enjoyed hot: just sear fresh foie gras in a frying pan and get ready to indulge! 

    Add a sweet note by deglazing the pan with raspberry vinegar or walnut wine. …And a sprinkling of fleur de sel to titillate the taste buds!  

    In the Périgord, foie gras is often enjoyed accompanied by a glass of Monbazillac or sweet Bergerac wine.
