Fake-assoulet attempt #2

Ok. When they say acid toughens beans, they are right.

Tasty, but a little dry. I should have added some liquid near the end.

What is that?

Cassoulet? It's white beans with pork and chicken, covered in bread crumbs. It's supposed to be made with duck confit, but I used some old breasts in the freezer, which is why I called it fake-assoulet.

I don't have a picture of it from this batch, but here's the jist

OH That's that thing you took pictures of before too, right? I remember the sausage and beans part. You're a really great chef to make all these fancy foods. I don't even know what duck confit is.

It's duck legs poached in duck fat. It's easy to find pre-made (wrapped in plastic), but I've never had it.

Thanks, but I'm not that fancy. I eat a lot of grill cheese sandwiches. This was all pantry-cleaning. My chicken was freezer-burned. I just had some free time.

Does look a little dry. Punch a few holes in the crust and add a little chicken broth.
