In this video, our Policy & Advocacy Specialist Anastasios Chalas takes us through the full timeline of the UK Government's commitments on this issue, from the early pledges made in the wake of Brexit to the repeated delays that have left animals waiting for protection that was promised long ago. Foie gras is produced through force feeding - a practice so cruel it is illegal to carry out in the UK. Yet we continue to import and sell the product, a glaring contradiction that campaigners have been pushing to resolve for years. 🍽️ Want to make faux gras at home? Here's the recipe: Ingredients: 1 shallot, peeled and diced 4 tbsp olive oil 4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced 2 tsp chopped rosemary 2 tsp chopped thyme 2 tsp chopped sage 24 button mushrooms, roughly sliced 2 tbsp cognac 2 tbsp soy sauce 400g cooked lentils 150g toasted walnuts 2 tbsp beetroot purée Black pepper, to taste Method: In a heavy pan, sauté the shallot in two tablespoonfuls of the olive oil until translucent.
