medallions of (duck) foie gras mi-cuit
An option. "Slices" works if not, though not quite so good, IMO. Shape will be a factor, however...

Hmmmm....Still served in medallions, it just seems to be a block made with an emulsion of foie at least 90% content....
I'd stick with medallions....
Sorry...Thinking aloud a little, as it's an interesting one :D

: 'foie gras mi-cuit' is a specifc way of preparing this ingredient. It is semi-cooked and then served chilled- also it is important to mention 'duck'. 'Troncos' could be translated in several different ways and is not the most important info here IMO.

Comment: "Thanks to all! Since it´s a menu and it´s important for it to sound attractive and appealing, I think I´ll go with "medallions", even though it´s not a literal translation of "troncos", it seems to convey the intended meaning. Thanks again! "

slices of duck liver medium rare/semi-cured
this is hodge-podge of culinary language if ever I saw it! 'Foie' and 'mi cuit' are french terms for 'liver' and 'medium-rare' (if cooked hot or 'semi-cured' if it refers to a pate or embutido) respectively; but 'troncos' and 'patp' are slices and duck respectively. go figure....

sticks of duck foie gras mi-cuit
'Sticks' seems to be a better translation of 'troncos' than 'slices', although 'slices' would also do.
