Preparation

Preheat oven to 150°C.

Heat duck fat in an ovenproof dish on medium heat. Add celery, carrot, onion and garlic and sauté for a few minutes. Add soaked coco beans and stir well. Add wine and bring to the boil. Cover with water and bring to a simmer. Add tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme and season with a little salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and cook in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Brown sausages in a pan. Add sausages to the ovenproof dish. Add pork knuckle, pork belly and duck legs. Shake dish to distribute the beans evenly, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Cook uncovered in the oven for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve. French people love it with mustard but my wife doesn’t!

WOW
This is so simple and sooo devine. I wasn't to strict on all the ingredients, (i had no duck & I used smoked pork ribs and Chorizo only) I forgot the bread crumbs and added them whilst it cooled. BUT who cares, I have been watching the Tour De Frace through the pyranees, and I was in need of some wholesome food. I last ate Cassulet in southern France, and this lived up to the standards set there. Down side is, I want to eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. My waist is bound to expand.

I had this dish at Vue de Monde Bistro recently and it was magnificent with a glass of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Some dishes remain memorable....this was for me. 5 stars; can't get your star sign to do a 5!

Hot Tips

More

Over crowding the deep fryer

Do not over crowd your deep fryer. The fried food must have bubbling hot oil all the way around it for it to cook evenly and quickly. If you put too many ingredients in the deep fryer at once it will reduce the temperature of the oil resulting in a soggy mess.

Glossary

Seasoned Pepper

A mixture of black pepper, other spices, and sweet pepper flakes. An alternative to plain black pepper.
