Get ready to elevate your fine dining experience! This vegan “faux gras” recipe–crafted by Michelin-starred French Chef Alexis Gauthier–offers a delicious alternative to the traditional French dish.

Chef Gauthier, once known for serving foie gras at his prestigious London restaurants, has since embraced compassionate cuisine. Foie gras, meaning “fatty liver” in French, is traditionally made by force-feeding ducks or geese. This practice has been banned in several countries due to its cruelty.

His faux gras delivers the same decadent experience using wholesome ingredients. BOSH!–a viral UK duo known for creative, plant-based recipes–called it “one of the most delicious pâtés” they’ve ever tasted.

Chef Gauthier’s faux gras

Chef Gauthier’s vegan faux gras blends lentils, mushrooms, walnuts, and Cognac (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) into a smooth, flavorful spread. Its deep umami notes and creamy texture make it a perfect addition to any appetizer board.

Serve it with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. You can also package it in small Tupperware containers with handwritten tags for a thoughtful gift.
