Is that duck on the left? You cut the best part out of the picture.

Just ordered 4 lbs of beans. Some for me, some for the mother in law, and some for a chef friend. Should be a good (fat) holiday season.

Yup, duck on the left. Cubed salted pork was already crisping in some duck fat when I took this pic. Been in the oven for 2.5 hours now and smells so damn good.

How did it turn out, Piob?

Last three days: spaghetti carbonara, bucatini all'amatriciana, and today pasta alla gricia.

Turned out excellent. I think duck skin reaches its zenith in a properly done version. We're having the left over tonight.

So, we did a bit of a Kenji. The method calls for the duck pieces to have the skin expose with the flesh nestled. In my first few tries I had the sausage nestled with half exposed. I was wondering if the sausage turns out better completely submerged in the beans or with half exposed. I did a side by side, fully submerged, half exposed. The verdict is the texture and tenderness is better fully submerged but it's more flavourful only nestled with half exposed.

But how often did you stir? :foo:

Thought a chilly fall day would be good for some homemade chowder.
