I haven't tried foie gras because of my love for animals, though I am not a vegan. I hope more people will try the faux gras (even the name is cool) instead of the real ones. Not to say that I don't drool just by looking at picture above, and that I wasn't tempted to try foie gras a million times before, but I hope we can find a way where we can enjoy food with a happy conscience! :D Oh Connie, that’s really cool!

As more and more cities here in the US are prohibiting the production of foie gras, and restaurants heavily fined for defying the prohibitions, some chefs have actually tried to make their own foie gras, calling it faux gras. I thought that was a cool name. The process doesn't involve force feeding ducks to get that enlarged liver. One chef actually even used chicken livers. I've been looking for the recipe but have yet to find it. From what I can remember, they used butter, sauteed some onions, added cream and loads of butter into it. Blended the butter mixture with chicken livers (with the sinewy bits removed). The mixture was then strained for smoother consistency, placed in small round baking dishes and placed in a hot bath in the oven for an hour. If only I could find the right amount of cream, butter and chicken livers to use for the recipe. I would like to try that. BTW, MM, I think I just had an embolism from reading that dinner.
