Quick Duck And Chicken Cassoulet
- 8 duck breasts
- 8 -10 chicken drumsticks
- 3 shallots, peeled and halved
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 8 ounces bacon, thickly sliced and chopped
- 2 -3 lbs canned cannellini beans, drained
- 1 1/2 lbs canned chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 pint chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons marjoram, chopped
- 2 tablespoons oregano, chopped
- 6 ounces salami, thickly sliced
- salt and black pepper
- In a large casserole dish, brown the duck breasts for about 8 minutes.
- Take the duck breasts out of the casserole.
- Keep 1 tablespoon of the duck fat, and pour away the rest.
- Brown the chicken drumsticks in the casserole dish for about 10 minutes, until they are golden on all sides.
- Take the chicken out of the casserole.
- Put the halved shallots (or chopped onion), crushed garlic and bacon into the casserole, and heat, stirring, for 5 minutes.
- Return the duck and chicken to the casserole.
- Add in the drained cannellini beans, tomatoes, chicken stock, chopped herbs and salami.
- Bring to the boil, then simmer it on the stovetop for an hour and a half.
- Instead of on stovetop, you could put it in the oven for an hour and a half at a medium heat. (I think I used 160 degrees C.).
- Season with salt & black pepper.
- I served this with new baby potatoes tossed in butter, french bread and a salad, and added parsnip and turnip mashed together - but then I had 3 more guests than I'd expected!
