Author Notes
I find foie gras goes so well with fruit or chutneys, the contrasting flavour is very nice. In this recipe I use roasted figs with the foie gras adding some fleur de sel on the foie gras to enhance it's flavour. I would pair it with a chilled Champagne flute! It's perfect for autumn and winter dinner parties. It's an easy do ahead entrée because it can be made in advance and at the last minute you just add the salad leaves and the vinaigrette. A foie gras block can go a long way, just slice it thinly and if you like, serve with with some toasted bread. —Maria Teresa Jorge
