Les Mets ChaiTake two slices from the foie gras lobe, each weighing around 100g. Sear them in a hot pan, turning to sear on both sides.
Cut the two cooked foie gras slices into cubes.
Make caramel by melting sugar with Pommeau de Normandie. Let the Pommeau moisten the sugar until it forms a golden caramel.
Dice the apples. Add half of the diced apples to the caramel, reserving the other half for plating. Allow the apples to simmer in the caramel until plating.
Plate the diced apples with caramel in a shallow dish.
Add the foie gras cubes and walnuts on top of the caramelized apples.
Grate the remaining frozen foie gras lobe over the dish until it covers the surface.
Season with 2 turns of a pepper mill and fleur de sel.
