Preparing the Foie Gras:

Reserve at room temperature.
Preparing the Pineapple Chips:
Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
Place the pineapple slices on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes. The pineapple should be dry and crisp. Dust the chips with a mixture of the crushed pepper and coriander.
Preparing the Greens:
Toss greens with chives in balsamic vinegar and oil. Season and reserve.
Presenting the Dish:
Sear the seasoned foie gras in a very hot pan. Place the greens in the center of a plate. Place the pineapple wedge on top. Add foie gras, and garnish with chips and greens. Drizzle with balsamico. Serve hot.
