Cuisine:a chef revisits the banana split with… foie gras

Among the traditional Christmas dishes, there is of course foie gras. So of course, it's delicious (with the eternal toasted bread and onion confit!) but it's not very original. For those who would like to give the tradition a little boost, follow the example of David Rossi, a Californian chef. The professional has indeed centered one of his recent culinary innovations around the dish and created… the banana split with foie gras! No, no one is dreaming, it is indeed a unique salty sweet mix!

Foie gras incorporated into vanilla ice cream

The dish, served in The Ranch restaurant in the city of Anaheim, is far from complex to prepare:the chef first incorporates the foie gras into a thick vanilla ice cream (we do not know the proportions, however , so better take it easy!), then he covers it all with a homemade chocolate shell. Everything is seasoned with a strawberry coulis and banana jelly, and served with a peanut crumble and a vanilla sabaillon (mixture of white wine and egg yolks). Failing to get a real idea of ​​​​the taste, the result, posed by a stump of tree, is rather very aesthetic (to finish the look, if you have a fireplace at home…). To follow the recipe step by step, it is on the site of Foodbeast Let it happen!

A divisive practice

Remember that the production of foie gras is controversial:animal rights defenders oppose it, but European rules do not allow it to be banned. Similarly, a ban was lifted in California two years ago because it conflicted with federal government regulation, according to The Independent .

In terms of originality, it will be difficult to find better in any case! The banana split revisited, are you going to try it?
