1 carrot, peeled and very finely chopped

5.25 oz (150g) of cooked duck foie gras
1 black truffle (1.4 oz (40g)), well brushed

some olive oil and blsamic vinegarsalt and freshly ground pepper

Step-by-step directions

Directions:

1 Cook the lentils in a large pot with the chicken stock the onion and the carrots. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Skim from time to time. When done, strain them.

2 Meanwhile, season well the dices of tomatoes with salt and pepper as well as the lemon juice. Set aside in the fridge.

3 Cut the foie gras into dices about 1cm thick. Then, very finely slice the truffle*.

4 In a bowl season the lentils with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

Arrangement:

In each plattes place a 10 cm cutter. Stack some lentils, half way up. Add few dices of foie gras. Add more lentils, top them with some of the tomato mixture and few slices of truffle.

At the last minute, carefully remove the cutters and drizzle the tians with a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle them with some freshly ground pepper.

All what's left to do, it is to enjoy!

(*) Black truffles is a quite expensive and difficult product to find so you can use some very fine slices of black radish, instead.
