Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Cut off potato ends; stand potatoes on end and peel from top to bottom with a sharp knife to make each potato into a uniform cylinder. Cut each cylinder in half crosswise to make 6 potato cylinders, each about 2 inches long.
  3. 3 Place potatoes into a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to remove starch from the outsides.
  4. 4 Heat vegetable oil in a heavy oven-proof skillet over high heat until slightly shimmers.
  5. 5 Pat potato cylinders dry with paper towels; place cylinders with the best-looking ends into the hot oil. Reduce heat to medium-high; fry until well-browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  6. 6 Flip potatoes; repeat on other ends. Blot out oil from the skillet carefully using a paper towel held with tongs as they cook. Add butter and thyme sprigs to the skillet.
  7. 7 Paint butter over tops of potatoes with a thyme sprig using tongs. Cook until butter foams and foam turns from white to a pale tan color. Season with salt and black pepper. Pour chicken stock into the skillet.
  8. 8 Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven; cook until potatoes are tender and creamy inside, about 30 minutes. Add ¼ cup more stock if potatoes aren't tender and cook 10 minutes more.
  9. 9 Place potatoes on a serving platter. Spoon thyme-infused butter remaining in skillet over potatoes. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Cool before serving, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4 Roll turkey breast from one side to the other to enclose the filling, and flip so the skin is facing up. Tie around the center with a kitchen string to secure. Repeat ties at 1-inch intervals along the length of the roast all the way to each end. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Season the top and sides with remaining salt and pepper.
  5. 5 Roast in the center of the preheated oven until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), 1 ½ to 2 hours.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour chicken stock into a large pot. Add pancetta, bones from duck confit, and drained beans. Tie bay leaves, peppercorns, thyme sprigs, and garlic cloves into a small square of cheesecloth to create a bouquet garni; add to the pot. Stir and bring to a simmer over high heat; skim off any foamy scum that forms if desired. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until beans are almost tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
  2. 2 Sprinkle pork pieces with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add pork and brown for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add sausage to the skillet and cook until nicely browned on all sides, turning occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Cut sausages in half and transfer to the bowl with pork pieces.
  3. 3 Remove fat and skin from duck confit and add to the same skillet. Cook over medium heat until fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Transfer all fat and browned pieces from the skillet to a mixing bowl. Add melted butter. Stir in bread crumbs and chopped parsley; stir until mixture looks like damp sand. Mix in about 1/4 to 1/2 cup bean cooking liquid.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. 5 Place onion, carrot, and celery in the same skillet used to brown the meats; add a pinch of salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until onion is translucent and the mixture turns golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook and stir until tomato paste starts to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, 3 or 4 minutes. Pour in white wine; cook and stir until most of the wine evaporates, 5 or 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. 6 Drain beans over a large bowl to retain all the cooking liquid. Discard bones and bouquet garni.
  7. 7 Place drained beans into a large shallow baking dish or cast iron skillet (about 12 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep). Stir in cooked vegetables and about 1 cup cooking liquid. Add pork pieces and distribute evenly among the beans. Top with shredded duck confit. Nestle sausage halves into bean mixture.
  8. 8 Ladle cooking liquid into the baking dish until beans are nearly submerged. Spread bread crumb mixture evenly over the top but don't press into liquid. Use your fingertips to make gentle indentations on the crumb surface for better browning.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 2 hours. Remove from the oven and create a small well in the center of the cassoulet crust. Ladle about 1/2 cup cooking liquid (or as needed) into the well to rehydrate the mixture. Use a fork to gently poke into the cassoulet to ensure the liquid is evenly distributed, but try not to disturb the crusty surface.
  10. 10 Continue baking until surface is crispy and caramelized, meat is fork-tender, and beans are creamy and tender, about 30 to 45 more minutes.
  11. 11 Serve in large bowls with a spoonful or two of hot cooking liquid. Top with chopped fresh parsley.

  3. 3 Strain and reserve marinade from meat. Drain meat on a plate lined with paper towels; pat until very dry. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.
  4. 4 Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat oil until shimmering. Add 1/2 of the meat and brown gently on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with remaining oil and meat. Turn pot off. Return all meat to the pot.
  5. 5 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add celery, carrots, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring gently, until softened and golden, about 10 minutes. Increase heat and add tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and sizzling, 1 to 3 minutes more. Add reserved marinade, potato, and bouquet garni bundle to the skillet. Bring to a boil and cook, bubbling fiercely, until thickened and syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Pour vegetable mixture into the Instant Pot® with the meat. Pour in enough chicken broth to cover ingredients halfway. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  7. 7 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Use a fork to mash some of the carrots and potatoes into the liquid in the pot. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish each serving with a sprinkling of parsley and thyme.
