OVEN
9/10
Slow-baked casserole of white beans with duck confit, Toulouse sausage, and pork, topped with a breadcrumb crust.
Why It Works
The beans absorb the rendered duck fat and meat juices over hours of baking. Breaking and reforming the breadcrumb crust multiple times builds layers of savory crunch.
