A sophisticated take on baked beans, utilizing heirloom beans and a slow-cooking technique inspired by French cassoulet. This version emphasizes depth of flavor and a luxurious texture.
In a Dutch oven, sauté Onion and Garlic until softened. Add Tomato Paste and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Deglaze the pot with Red Wine, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce by half.
Add all Beans, Sauce ingredients, Duck Confit, and Bay Leaves. Stir well to combine.
Cover and bake for 300 minutes, or until the beans are incredibly tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally, adding a little water if needed to prevent sticking.
Remove Bay Leaves before serving. Let cool slightly before serving.
