Do you remember French bean salad – a dish quite prominently featured in the 90s?

This version comes straight from the Kichechef cookbooks of the 90s, where the bean salad was served with pan-fried mullet. I’ve decided to swap the fish for foie gras – a bold choice, which was inspired by a recent restaurant visit, where I came across this very same dish and loved it.

It’s still a French bean salad — just more decadent and luxurious.

As part of Kichechef’s 50th anniversary, I’m going back to their 90s cookbooks to see which recipes still hold up today.
