Cassoulet is a rich, slow-cooked casserole originating from the south of France, made with meat (typically pork sausages, duck, and sometimes mutton), pork skin, and white beans. This comforting dish is perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
- 200 grams dried white beans soaked overnight
- 2 pieces duck legs salted
- 200 grams pork belly cut into chunks
- 6 pieces pork sausages smoked
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 1 pinch thyme dried
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
- Brown the duck legs and pork belly in a large oven-safe pot over medium heat until golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onions and garlic; cook until softened. Stir in tomato paste.
- Add the soaked beans, cooked meats, and sausages to the pot. Pour in chicken stock to cover the ingredients and add thyme.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the oven. Cook for about 3 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the beans are covered with liquid.
- Uncover the pot and cook for an additional hour to allow the top to brown and thicken.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cassoulet with crusty bread.
