What's For Dinner #40 - 12/2018 - The Hearth and Home Edition

What you said in that second sentence, @Saregama! I had THREE bottles left and made sure I stopped at Wegmans on the way home from Mom’s on Saturday (at 5pm, no less!) to pick up a half dozen more. LOL

just sent you D’artagnan’s duck confit recipe using tarbais beans
As I mentioned, I would never pay $19.99 for a pound of tarbais beans ( from D’artagnan or Amazon) as 3 lbs is required for that recipe
I always used white Cannelloni beans
Well, when I found them at $6.99 from Rancho Gordo, I ordered 9 pounds, made the duck confit using 3 lbs and was disappointed bec it was too heavy. So, my suggestion is using 2 lbs instead

Appreciate it!

Very creamy bean, cooks up in 25 mins once soaked overnight.

Caldo Verde tonight with some crusty garlic studded bread. This is red light food for me. Just love a simple soup or stew
