METHOD
Preparing the caramelized nuts
- Dip the nuts into the cold syrup and let drain.
- Season with Szechuan pepper and sea salt. Dry in the oven on a baking sheet for 35 minutes at 100° C (200° F). Set aside.
Crispy potatoes
- Grate the peeled potatoes. Do not rinse; season with salt.
- In a pan coated with a little oil make 12 very thin potato galettes, about 10 cm (4") in diameter.
- Cook until nicely browned so that they will be crispy.
- Set aside on paper towel and keep warm.
Foie gras
- Quickly sauté the 8 escalopes of foie gras over high heat, until nicely coloured on both sides; set aside on paper towel, season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Make a reduction from the 200 ml (3/4 c.) sherry vinegar, to decorate the plate.
Presentation
- At the last minute, dress the Lamb's Lettuce with the hazelnut oil vinaigrette.
- Make individual mille-feuilles by layering a potato galette, a slice of foie gras, some caramelized nuts and some Lamb's Lettuce; repeat the layering, finishing with a crispy potato galette.
- Lightly drizzle with vinaigrette.
- Sprinkle with a few grains of sea salt and a grinding of Szechuan pepper.
- Decorate the plate with a few dots of the reduced sherry vinegar.
- Arrange the remaining nuts around the plate. Serve immediately.

CHEF'S NOTES
Only the very smallest Lamb's Lettuce leaves are suitable for making this savoury layered "mille-feuilles." Nonetheless, the Lamb's Lettuce is indispensable for lightening this rather rich dish.
