I agree.<br /><br />Audax - We have a local butcher who do a mail order service. They're pretty good and supply a lot of famous restaurants, etc. The other good thing about them is that their poultry has several qualifiactions for being raised and looked after well. A little pricey, though, so I don't think my cassoulet will have quite come out as cheap as 87p per portion. Worth the extra for me to cut down on the time spent making it just now. <br /><br />David and Stacey - Making confit is so easy that I wouldn't hesitate to do it again - was just struggling for time this time round - and couldn't find fresh whole duck legs!

Good to know, but we'll always aim to make our own because it would be a bit of a waste to let someone else get the awesome smells bursting out of the oven.<br /><br />Stay JOLLY!<br />D&SDavid and Stacyhttp://daring.ehumpton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312788323256129344.post-76460381055009521002011-01-16T07:33:18.495+00:002011-01-16T07:33:18.495+00:00Wonderful you finally got to a proper cassoulet at...Wonderful you finally got to a proper cassoulet at last.

Your final dish looks awesome, and I'm with the bunch who agree that the pork belly needs caramelization prior to adding to the cassoulet, so I confit'd and seared it :)<br /><br />Beautiful job all around, and I'm glad you liked it! Alawys fun to try something new!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053407953063654982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312788323256129344.post-19649500522138308692011-01-15T03:31:30.813+00:002011-01-15T03:31:30.813+00:00This looks well worth the work and calories.
