Duck mousse with Porto is a classic French preparation. Tasty and creamy, this delicacy should appear on all family gatherings’ menus. Delices d’Annie presents here its recipe. It is super easy to make. You will just need 10 minutes for the preparation and 50 minutes for cooking.
Delices d’Annie : Ingredients for 6 medium jar of mousse
– 500 g duck livers
– 300 g duck fat
– 1 egg
– 1 glass of Porto
– ½ ts salt
– ½ ts ground pepper
Method
In the bowl of a blender, mix the livers, fat, egg, Porto, salt and pepper until the combination gets the mousse’s texture.
Pour the mixture into sterilized jars. Do not overfill the jars, because that may adversely affect the sterilization.
Place the jars in a water bath then put in a sterilizer, cook for 50 minutes at 180°C.
Let cool at room temperature, then store in the fridge.
To maximize its flavor, it is best to wait one month before opening.
For those who are allergic to eggs, a traditional version of this recipe involves cooking the duck liver in a salty and spicy soup before adding the Porto. Corn flour is then added as a thickener.

My mother is an exceptional cook! For sure she already tried this recipe from Delices d’Annie! I really missed her good meals that she serves during dinner time! When we visited her she sometimes orders dishes at Delices d’Annie, and sometimes she prepares homemade dishes as traditional as those from Delices d’Annie! And I enjoyed them all!

Well well well, I messed it up. I find it quite difficult to prepare. I am not a great cook so that could be the reason too. I wanted to try it though so ended up ordering at Delices d’Annie and it was a delight to eat it. Anyway, I will try to prepare it one more time next weekend. Hopefully, it will be done properly this time. It is indeed a great appetizer and it is even better if one tries it with some fine wine.
