Duck and Pork Cassoulet/Casserole

[a_boleyn]

I first tasted this dish at a very expensive restaurant in Chicago while visiting there with some friends. We stayed at the Renaissance Blackstone Hotel, in walking distance of other famous landmarks including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium which we visited. We even walked all the way to

Well, now, that's just yummy looking from every angle. I've never tried a cassoulet. Perhaps I should one of these days as there never seems to be any duck recipes in my favorite cookbooks. thanks for sharing this with us! :D

To be honest, I haven't really looked into my various cookbooks for duck recipes. I know I made a quick jambalaya with leftover duck meat once but that's as creative as I got. The classic Peking duck dish (not Pekin which is a type of duck) with pancakes is the only one I really know of.

It's tasty but 'chewy' unless you cook it so long it falls off the bone.

Duck can be chewy, which is probably why they suggest chicken instead.

Mmmmm

Mmm... I love cassoulet! I haven't made it in several years bc it's not a food for Hawai'i, but I'm sure it will come back on the table now that we are in northern climes.

Definitely a cold weather comfort food. :)

Puts some meat on one's bones, heh!

I'm bookmarking this, even though one of the few sadnesses of my life is that Shog won't eat beans. I will, though, and especially in a dish like this one!

I know how preferences go. Enjoy the dish if you give it a try.
