A Voluminous Type of Recipe
Due to the health benefits foie gras can give, this fat liver hasbeen used widely in different recipes. As for this recipe, I can say that it's fitted for foie gras. I don't usually mix salt and any sweet ingredients in a single recipe like this dish. What stunned me is that the blending of honey, salt, and butter doesn't gave me a weird taste. The apples and celeriac just fit this recipe.
