I tried the search function, but it's not working right now. I want to know how difficult it is to pull off preparing it on your own. I have some duck and rabbit in the freezer & looking to do something creative with it.

TIA

I have not because it's not the type of dish I like, but Glassman probably has. Bump this tomorrow if he doesn't come around tonight.

I saw that, thanks though. Will likely try it. Just wanted to see if anyone had done it before and could let me know what to expect.

If you can read and cook a pot of beans its not hard. I make it or a version of it from time to time. You already have the duck, just google and read a few recipes and go from there.

I've done it with chicken legs, sausage and bacon.

It needs to be cooked in the oven. I have a bean pot that works well.

Use dry beans, not canned.

I love cassoulet.

We tried making it at home once. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I think our recipe was too complicated.

It's great in cold weather.

I have no idea how to cook it but I had this at Feast last year and thought it was outstanding. Unfortunately it is closed now.

Yes, but the components are the issue. Doing duck confit for a dish is pretty damn tough. Not many home cooks have access to duck fat to confit the thighs and breast of a duck. I have only cooked it once. Makes red beans and rice on a Monday look like a stroll through the park.

The growing old part could be tricky.
