"French Takeaway" From the Supermarket- Definitely not MacDonalds!

Being on my own tonight and not having anyone to cook for me or to cook for, I passed the Intermarche supermarket and bought my diner - I only had to stop at the bakery in Salornay on the way home because the bread was so bad in the supermarket! Following is the illustrated guide to preparing Cassoulet au Confit de Canard!

The first step in preparation is to pull the ringtab!

Doesn't seem to work in a steamer!

So into the saucepan

The Verdict - really good beans, quite nice sausage but rather tough and tasteless confit - think I'll rely on my own cooking next time!
