Probably 6 hours minimum, but if you boil them up and then boil them up again that might work.

It depends on the bean some you can get away with four hours others need eight.

Hi tony! I'm making a cassoulet; it's now in the oven and smells lovely.

Yes, it's a south west dish. It's got beans in (;-)) sausages, bits of duck and different veg. All this gets assembled and goes into the oven with a coating of breadcrumbs, parsley and garlic goes on the top. I suppose it's a very elaborated version of sausage and beans!!!! The fact the beans cook with all the ingredients means they absorb all the flavours.
