Cassoulet with Duck Confit

La Truffe’s Cassoulet with Homemade Duck Confit is the gold standard for the most indulgent and hearty dish from southwestern France. It combines the three essential ingredients of a quality cassoulet: 38% lingot beans, 16% farm-raised duck confit, and 16% Toulouse sausages, all in a homemade sauce made with tomatoes, carrots, onions, duck fat, leeks, bouquet garni, and chicken broth.

The sauce is the heart of the recipe: reduced, concentrated, brownish, and gelatinous, it permeates the beans as they simmer gently, binding them into a rich, melt-in-your-mouth dish. Lingot beans—finer and creamier than ordinary white beans—absorb the juices from the confit and sausages to create the depth of flavor that sets authentic cassoulet apart from its imitations.

Simply reheat over low heat in a casserole dish or in the oven at 150°C for 30 minutes, adding a splash of water if necessary to thin the sauce; this cassoulet confidently upholds the tradition of one of France’s most renowned gastronomic regions. Serve piping hot, straight from the casserole dish, with country bread and a full-bodied Cahors or Madiran.
