Here’s my recipe for foie gras and fig cake—it’s perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail party during the holiday season!

It’s a very easy dish to prepare, and you’ll only need ingredients you already have on hand. In particular, you don’t need raw or semi-cooked foie gras for this recipe—canned foie gras works just fine. And for the figs, you can use dried figs that you rehydrate in tea.

Enjoy, and thank you in advance for your comments 🙏

Notes

WHAT TO DRINK WITH THIS FOIE GRAS AND FIG CAKE? Sweet Jurançon, Monbazillac (light, not too rich), Côteaux du Layon, Saussignac, sweet Gaillac.

These wines offer freshness, fruitiness, and a hint of honey; they’ll perfectly complement this cake as an appetizer!

S’agit-il de foie gras frais ou déjà cuit ?
