Directions

Step 1, The evening before, soak the beans in a bowl filled with plenty of cold water. Set aside at room temperature.
Step 2, Drain the soaked beans and transfer to a saucepan. Add the onion, celery, bay leaf, garlic, bacon, clove and stock and bring to the boil. Simmer on low heat for 1 hour.
Step 3, 10-15 minutes before the cassoulet is cooked, heat a frying pan over medium heat and crisp the duck legs, skin side down for 10 minutes or until crisp and golden, then carefully flip over and cook for a few minutes more, or until heated through.
Step 4, Check the seasoning on the cassoulet and add salt and pepper. Serve the duck legs on top of the cassoulet, with plenty of parsley scattered on top.
