Foie gras has been enjoyed since ancient Egyptian times, where depictions of force-feeding birds were found. The practice was refined by the Romans and subsequently adopted and perfected in France, particularly in regions like Alsace and Périgord. Micuit, meaning 'half-cooked,' is a relatively modern preparation compared to traditional preserved foie gras.

Foie gras micuit offers a rich, buttery, and intensely savory flavor profile with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Its luxurious texture melts in the mouth, providing a decadent experience.
The primary flavor is the pure, unctuous richness of the duck or goose liver. The 'half-cooked' method preserves the liver's delicate texture and intensifies its flavor. Seasonings are typically minimal, often limited to salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of sugar, spices (like nutmeg or white pepper), or a spirit like cognac or Sauternes. The overall profile is smooth, decadent, and elegant.

Temperature Control
Maintaining a precise cooking temperature (typically between 50-60°C or 122-140°F) is crucial to prevent the foie gras from melting or becoming overly cooked.
Resting Time
Allowing the micuit to rest properly after cooking is essential for the flavors to meld and the texture to set. Refrigeration for at least 24 hours is recommended.
Serving Suggestions
Serve foie gras micuit chilled or lightly warmed, accompanied by toasted brioche, fig jam, or a sweet wine like Sauternes. The contrast of flavors and textures enhances the overall experience.
Deveining the Foie Gras
Carefully remove any visible veins from the foie gras before cooking to ensure a smooth texture.
