Steps

1
Soak the beans overnight, then drain.
2
Cover the beans with 2.5 litres of water, add the pork rind, studded onion, carrots, garlic and bouquet garni, and simmer for 1 hour until almost tender. Keep the cooking liquid — it is the body of the dish.
3
Brown the sausages and pork belly separately and set aside.
4
Line a deep earthenware dish with the pork rind, fat side down.
5
Layer the beans with the meats, tucking the confit legs in skin-side up. Whisk the tomato paste into the bean liquid and pour over enough to just cover.
6
Bake uncovered at 150°C for 3 hours.
7
Every 30 minutes, break the crust that forms on the surface and push it under with the back of a spoon. Traditionally this is done seven times, and it is what thickens the whole dish.
8
Stop breaking the crust for the final 30 minutes so it sets golden. Rest 20 minutes before serving.
