Direcciones

  1. 1. Sort beans and throw away debris. Rinse beans, drain, and put into a 5- to 6-qt pan with 4 qts water. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour. Drain beans, discarding liquid; if making up to 1 day ahead, cover and chill. Put beans in a 41/2-qt or possibly larger electric slow-cooker.
  2. 2. Meanwhile, pull and cut skin from duck breasts; reserve skin for cracklings (cover and refrigerateup to 1 day). Place breasts in a bowl. Add in 2 Tbsp. salt and the sugar, and mix; cover and refrigerateat least 30 min but no longer than 1 hour. Rinse breasts well under cold running water; if making up to 1 day ahead, cover and chill. Cut meat into 1/2-inch chunks.
  3. 3. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, frequently stir bacon till browned and crisp, about 5 min. Throw away all but 1 Tbsp. bacon drippings. Add in onions and garlic to bacon; stir often till onions begin to brown, 8 to 10 min. Add in broth and wine; bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up browned bits from pan bottom. Pour onion-broth mix into slow-cooker with beans. Add in tomato, minced thyme, pepper, and bay leaf; mix. Place duck pcs on the beans.
  4. 4. Cover and cook till beans and duck are very tender to bite, 5 to 6 hrs on low, 4 to 5 hrs on high. If there is more liquid than desired, uncover slow-cooker, turn heat to high, and simmer to concentrate the mix, up to 30 min.
  5. 5. Stir sausage slices into cassoulet and cook till warm, 5 - 10 min. Ladle cassoulet into bowls, sprinkle equally with duck cracklings, and garnish with thyme sprigs.
  6. Duck cracklings. Chop reserved duck skin (see preceding) into 1/4-inch pcs. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, frequently stir skin till crisp and golden brown, 5 to 8 min. With a slotted spoon, transfer to towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt. When cold, wrap airtight; refrigerateup to 1 day.
  7. Makes 1/3 to 1/2 c..
  8. NOTES: For best results, boil beans first in water till almost tender to bite; at mile-high or possibly higher altitudes, it may take 2 or possibly more hrs for the beans to reach this texture. However, you can cook the beans one day, then assemble the cassoulet and simmer in the slow-cooker the next.
