For the garnish
1 tablespoon walnuts
1/2 dl olive oil
pinch of fleur de sel
1/2 jonagold apple
For the beetroot gel
0.25l beetroot juice
0.5 tablespoon honey
0.25dl fruity olive oil
2.5g agar-agar
pinch of salt
10cl Greek yoghurt
freshly milled pepper
salt
beatroot leaves
Additional kitchen equipment
hand-held mixer
2 plastic squeeze bottles
slicing machine
STEP ONE
Put the blackberries in a shallow dish. Peel the rhubarb, slice into thin julienne strips and add to the dish. Sprinkle the fruits with demerara sugar and pour the champagne on top. Cover the dish and leave to marinate for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 5 hours.
STEP TWO
Season the Greek yoghurt with salt and pepper and transfer it into a plastic squeeze bottle.
STEP THREE
Pour the beetroot juice, together with the honey, olive oil, salt and the agar-agar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Once it has cooked, leave to cool and set in the fridge. Mix the beetroot jelly with een hand-held mixer until you get a smooth gel and transfer it into a plastic squeeze bottle.
STEP FOUR
Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the nuts. Sprinkle the nuts with fleur de sel twice while frying. Pour the nuts on a plate covered with kitchen paper, leave to drain off the excess oil and let them cool. Add a bit more fleur de sel just before serving.
STEP FIVE
Put a bit of the Greek yoghurt and the beetroot gel on every plate. Add some salted nuts and cut the foie gras into very thin slices using the slicing machine. Divide the marinated fruits between the plates.
STEP SIX
Add the slices of foie gras and season with fleur de sel and freshly milled pepper. Cut the apple into thin slices as well and divide over the foie gras. Finish the dish with some beetroot leaves.
