Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain the soaked beans. Place them in a large pot with fresh water, the pork belly, a halved onion, and the bouquet garni. Simmer gently for 1 hour until the beans are just tender. Drain and reserve the liquid.

  2. 2

    In a skillet, brown the Toulouse sausages over medium heat until golden. Cut them into thick slices.

  3. 3

    Rub a deep, heavy earthenware casserole dish (cassole) with a crushed garlic clove. Layer half the cooked beans at the bottom.

  4. 4

    Nestle the browned sausages, pork belly, and duck confit legs into the beans. Cover with the remaining beans.

  5. 5

    Pour the warm stock over the top until it just barely covers the beans. Add a little reserved bean cooking liquid if needed.

  6. 6

    Bake uncovered at 300°F (150°C) for 3-4 hours. Every hour, press the thick, golden crust that forms on top back down into the stew, adding a splash of liquid if it looks dry. The final crust should be deeply caramelized and crisp.
