Recipe Seared foie gras with green apples

I like working with foie gras, I love it from every angle, raw, semi-cooked, in a tea towel, in salt, in a terrine… .It is always a pleasure, and the gaze of your guests when the plates arrive on the table, pleasure and nothing but happiness. Today foie gras is democratized, it is now found for the Christmas and Easter periods quite easily in supermarkets, some now offers good quality French foie gras. Of course, the top of the range is reserved for professionals or in specialized stores. To pan-fry a foie gras ask your butcher, so that he chooses a suitable liver to be pan-fried. This recipe for pan-fried foie gras with green apples remains my favorite recipe, the slightly acidic candied apples bring particular flavors.
