Cleaning

I tell people to think of foie gras as Play-Doh. When you’re cleaning it, don’t be afraid you’re going to make a mistake, because you can always put it back together. You cut it, you scrape it, you get as many veins out of it as possible, and then you mold it back together again. It takes some hands-on learning to know where the veins are, how to open the foie up to expose the primary vein, and then how to eliminate the secondary ones.
