With cooking of a few ingredients separately and then an assembly to finish the cooking in the oven.<\/li>\n<li>First put the streaky bacon into the large oven proof &#8220;LeCreuset&#8221; casserole, so that it seals and browns a little. It will release fat for the cooking of the following ingredients.<\/li>\n<li>Then seal the sausages. Not need for them to cook, just make a nice colour. Put aside.<\/li>\n<li>Do the same with the Duck confit and add a few spoons of the duck fat that comes with the tin. Brown the duck on both sides. Then put aside.<\/li>\n<li>Slice the celery, carottes and onions, put into the casserole to lift off the &#8220;suc&#8221; from the pan and gently fry the vegetables. Put aside and add the Provence Herbs.<\/li>\n<li>Now put everything back together into the main casserole. Try to mix all the ingredients without breaking the duck appart of braking the sausages.<\/li>\n<li>Add the beans and tomatoes puree to the casserole, and cover with the chicken stock. I usually make sure the whole thing is wet but not so wet that it is a soup.<\/li>\n<li>Put into the oven at 140 or 160 degres celsius for fan assisted oven. Leave in the oven for at least 2 hours. More if you want. Check half way to mix a little and ensure all is cooking as expected.<\/li>\n<li>You can finish the dish with breadcrumbs and put under a grill for a few minutes to make it look authentic !<\/li>\n<li>you can eat immediately&#8230;.massive comfort food for the winter&#8230;.<\/li>\n<li>It also freezes very well for pre-prepared dishes for the week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id='gallery-1'
