Steps:
- Set the slow cooker to low (ours had a 5-litre capacity). Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and brown the sausages on each side - you don't have to cook them all the way through. Set aside on a plate. Put the lardons, onion and celery in the pan and cook over a medium heat for 8-10 mins until the onion is translucent and the lardons crisp. Stir in the garlic, paprika and thyme, and fry for 3 mins.
- Pour in the wine and simmer until reduced by half, around 5-10 mins. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, stock, both lots of beans, the sugar and vinegar. Stir until combined and bring to the boil. Pour into the slow cooker with the sausages. Cover and cook for 6-8 hrs. Serve with crusty bread.

PORK AND LENTIL CASSOULET
This variation on cassoulet uses lentils instead of the traditional white beans. In place of pork, you may substitute beef bottom round. *EDIT*I have had a problem with the lentil's cooking well in the crock pot. I suggest that you pre-soak them for an hour prior to adding them to the crock pot and cook on high and allowing for an extra 1/2 hours cooking time if it's needed.

Tips:
- Choose the right lentils. Brown or green lentils hold their shape well and won't get mushy in the stew. Red lentils will break down more and create a thicker soup.
- Soak the lentils. Soaking the lentils for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables like potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
- Don't overcook the sausage and pork. You want them to be cooked through, but not so much that they're dry and tough.
- Use a good-quality chicken broth. The flavor of the broth will be a big part of the final dish, so use a broth that you enjoy.
- Season the stew to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve with a side of bread or rice. This stew is hearty and filling, but it's even better when served with a side of bread or rice.
