Recipe : 

Marinate the tuna loin in soy sauce for 10 minutes on each side
Sear the tuna loin for 1 minute on each side then leave to cool
Fry the foie gras escalopes in a pan without fat, 1 minute on each side, no more!
Cook the samphire in the English style for 3 minutes. This simply involves cooking the vegetables in a large volume of boiling salted water. When cooking stops, immerse them in a bath of ice water then drain them. This cooking technique preserves the color and crunch.
Make the condiments: cook the wild garlic again in the English style. Then, mix them with a little olive oil. Add the previously peeled and blended black garlic.
Make the strong juice: reduce 25 cl of veal stock and add 2 or 3 cl of balsamic vinegar

 

Put it all together and… enjoy!
