Foie gras verrine with gingerbread and Gewurztraminer

What are you planning for your Christmas dinner? Foie gras is a must for all Christmas dinner in France. I have never had a single Christmas dinner without foie gras. You can serve it the classic way a slice of foie gras on toast or you can be inventive. This verrine associates foie gras with gingerbread and Gewurztraminer.

The Gewurztraminer is a white wine coming from Alsace, in France. Belonging to the “noble wine” family, this white wine is one of the more aromatic and fruity wines of the Alsace region.

You can also use some Muscat or Sauternes instead of Gewurztraminer. It depends on your taste and which wine you will be able to find in your supermarket.
