2. Cut the apple (Cox Orange or Reinette) into small cubes, caramelize in 2 teaspoons of sugar and ½ tablespoon of butter.
3. Cut the forest mushrooms (porcini mushrooms, chanterelles, chestnuts) into cubes and stew in 1 tablespoon butter until there is no more liquid. If fresh mushrooms are not available, soak 1 tablespoon of dried porcini mushrooms, cut into small pieces, and braise.
4. Cut the duck liver (alternatively turkey liver, goose liver, rabbit liver) into cubes, cut the shallot into fine cubes. Fry the shallot, then the liver in 1 tablespoon of butter.

7. Cut into 2 cm thick slices. With duck, goose, but also with a fine braised beef.
