This recipe is inspired by a recent trip to Paris with my wife. It captures the mood and flavour of a memorable summer’s day, when we cycled around the beautiful Versailles and had a gourmet picnic by a lake. Our lunch was typically French, with foie gras, duck rillettes, sundried tomatoes, olives and a green salad with cheese and plump raisins. In this recipe, the California Raisins add just the right touch of tang to balance the richness of the foie gras.
