- Strain the figs and cut widthways into 3mm slices.
- Reduce to a syrupy juice, dip the gelatin sheets in cold water, press and add to the juice. Cool.
- Cut the Foie Gras into 1cm thick slices, season with salt and pepper, then quickly sauté in a hot pan for roughly 1 minute on each side then leave to cool at room temperature.
- Line the inside of a terrine with cling film and place a layer of Foie Gras, followed by a layer of figs and moisten with the syrupy juice. Repeat until the terrine is full, making sure to finish with a layer of foie gras.
- Press the terrine down and leave in the fridge for 5-6 hours. Cut into 1cm thick slices.
- The chef's suggestion: Dress the Foie Gras Millefeuille slice on the plate with a mesclun salad seasoned with a light hazelnut and balsamic vinegar vinaigrette.
