1- Remove the small ring of fat above the hearts then open them in half until ¾ and place on a plate.
2- In a large pan heat your duck fat, when it is very hot, place your duck hearts, salt and pepper with the mill cook 2 minutes, then turn them salt and pepper, cook 2 additional minutes and remove the hearts onto a large platter.
3- Put the pan back on heat with the remaining fat, then pour in your apples and your mushrooms, salt then sauté without burning until your apples are cooked.
4- Then add your hearts and the juice released in the pan and sprinkle with the parsley garnish just one turn of the pan (30 seconds) to reheat the hearts.
5- Then arrange your hearts harmoniously around each hot plate and your pan-seared apples and mushrooms in the center and serve immediately.
