Foie Gras

Planning to make beef Wellington for Christmas Dinner. I've checked 2 butchers and neither of them carry it. The recipe in the BGE cookbook omits the Foie Gras but my buddy is a chef insists that it makes the dish. Any ideas on where I can find foie gras?

No, but if I found it, I would saute it in bacon fat and eat it straight up. I wouldn't dilute Foie Gras or good whisky!XLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY

You can use pate foie gras in a pinch. Easier to find. You could even go with a pork or chicken liver pate

You won't find it in California they made it illegal. Love some pan seared foie grasLynnwood WA

@hapster, that was my thought too. Wegman's is a 40 minute drive but my buddy lives close by and he has an egg and lots of Gentleman Jack. Okay, I'll make the trip.Mark Annville, PA

Pate is definitely *not* foie gras. I love foie gras, and absolutely hate pate. For me, at least, they taste completely different. I'd rather get some chicken liver, slice it and then saute it.Raleigh, NC

Dude is using it in beef wellington, not serving it as a canapé. The beef is going to overpower whatever he puts in there. Pate foie gras after cooking would be almost identical in flavor. I've done wellies both ways and it would be hard to tell the difference. That's just my humble opinion.

Yea, Sonoma foie farm got shut down. Hudson Valley farm in NY is the biggest and produces the best in the states. There is only one other foie producer in the US besides them I think. -

Do you guys think the foie gras is necessary in a Wellington? I really don't feel like going on a wild goose chase (no pun intended) if it isn't a must have.Mark Annville, PA

If you don't want to use foie gras then bump up the duxelles with a hearty mixture of mushrooms. Just make sure all moisture is cooked out. We have done this several times and not missed the foie gras at all.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

Thanks @Austin Egghead. I saw a video of Gordon Ramsay making a Wellington without foie gras and he said the same thing about the moisture.Mark Annville, PA

When I do Wellington, I use Pate which I buy at Wegman's, though any good grocery store/deli ought to have it. If you want to kick it up a notch, make your duxelles with Morel mushrooms. You won't find fresh, but should find them dried.XLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY
