Preparation

Step 1

Combine the foie gras with the butter, port, cognac, salt, and pepper. Remove the skin off the tongue and slice it (medium thickness).

Step 2

Grab a mould and line it with foil.

Step 3

To construct the paté, layer the foie gras first, then a slice of tongue, then foie gras again. Alternate until the mould is full, aim to finish with a slice of tongue.
Cover with a sheet of aluminium foil and leave to set in the fridge for 12 hours.

Step 4

Soak the gelatine sheet in a bowl of hot water, it needs to be soft enough for you to spread with a spatula.

Step 5

Remove from the mould and cover in the gelatine mixture.
Put it back in the fridge so the gelatine can set.

Step 6

Slice and serve cool.
