4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon torn fresh rosemary leaves 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
3 cans (15.5-ounce) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed or 8 ounces dried cannellini beans, cooked

Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and saute briefly, just until fragrant scraping up any browned bits. Add the zucchini, diced tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, chicken broth, and canned or cooked cannellini beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the duck confit. Remove the Dutch oven from the stovetop and place in a 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes remove and sprinkle the bread crumbs and place back in the oven for another 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Made this to cheer husband up when a trip to France got cancelled. Now have made it as Christmas dinner 2 years in a row. When I travelled to France this year, trying real cassoulet was my one request for food (tho I never did find it). Anyway, It’s a winner! I use chicken instead of duck confit (can never find duck confit) and 1 cup white wine 1 cup stock, also no zucchini. This time I added in some Cajun sausage. Otherwise I follow it closely and it’s delish!
