Method
- Soak the beans overnight, then simmer with bacon, onion, and garlic for 90 minutes until tender.
- Brown the pork shoulder and sausage in duck fat in a heavy casserole until well caramelized.
- Layer beans, meats, and duck legs in the casserole and cover with the bean cooking liquid.
- Bake uncovered at 300 degrees F for 3 hours, breaking the crust three times for a deeper crust.
Cooks notes. Recipes are tested in a US home kitchen. Substitute lemon for lime if you must, but the result will read brighter. Salt to taste -- our quantities skew toward kosher.
