Living Rawesome Day #50 Portobello “foie gras” on Sun-Dried Tomato Flatbread
September 13, 2009
Well another day without fruit or agave. My mood and energy were great again today. I even did the stair stepper for 45 minutes. It feels great to clean my body out. I am not craving any cereal, granola, or any sweet things. One day at a time. I will take things one day at a time. I went to work tonight, so I could catch up on making food for the deli. I made a new recipe. I named it Mediterranean Pate. It is sunflower seeds with sun-dried tomato and basil. I think it’s very good. I am going to try to sell it this week. I love to make new things each week. My job is great because it allows me to be creative.
As for my project, I made two interesting recipes. The sun-dried tomato flat bread is not so different but the portabello “foie gras” is the strangest thing I’ve made since I started this project. I didn’t even know what “foie gras” was until Jason asked if it was fattened goose. So he looked it up. It is liver of a duck or goose that has been force fed corn according to French law. I can’t believe that this is actually a delicacy in France. People know that the animals are force fed and they still think it’s great!?! I don’t understand why someone would want to eat that. I wouldn’t. I have never had goose or duck of any sort. I won’t be able to tell if this tastes similar to duck/goose or foie gras, but I will let you know how it tastes. I am going to try it tomorrow. It is hardening in the refrigerator now. The sun-dried tomato flat bread was easy to make. I know this will taste delicious.
