CHEF JOHN'S QUICK CASSOULET



Chef John's Quick Cassoulet image

We've taken some short cuts to make a quick version of the French classic, cassoulet. Chicken thighs replace the classic, and time-consuming, duck confit; canned beans replace dried; and bacon serves as a convenient substitute for other, more involved smoked pork options.

EASY FRENCH CASSOULET WITH WINE, BEANS, SAUSAGE, HAM AND HERBS



Easy French Cassoulet With Wine, Beans, Sausage, Ham and Herbs image

This cassoulet is a wonderful and EASY one-pan variation of the French classic! Great, warming comfort food that takes the chill off in the colder months. Very hearty and welcoming to come home to after a winter's walk or some sledding fun! Serve the steaming cassoulet in bowls accompanied with a baguette or corn bread, a tossed salad, and a nice glass of cider or wine. ENJOY! Notes: Chopped kielbasa will work in place of the bulk pork sausage, and ground allspice in place of the cloves. Also dry white vermouth in place of dry white wine, is good. Can be baked in a 2-quart size casserole dish (deep rather than shallow), if you do not have a Dutch oven.

8 cups water
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 14 1/2-ounce can stewed tomatoes, with their liquid

1 cup white wine
8 smoked ham hocks, meat cut from bones and shredded, bones reserved
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
3 teaspoons butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Place the beans and the water in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover partly and simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a large, wide ovenproof pot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute until golden, about 7 minutes.

Remove the bones from the pan and stir in the meat. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top and dot with butter. Bake for 15 minutes. Divide among 6 plates and serve.

Tips

  • Sear the chicken and ham before adding them to the cassoulet. This will help to brown the meat and add flavor to the dish.
  • Use a variety of beans in your cassoulet. This will add texture and flavor to the dish. Some good options include white beans, navy beans, and kidney beans.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your cassoulet. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as zucchini or squash.
  • Season your cassoulet well. This is a hearty dish, so don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Cook the cassoulet low and slow. This will help the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the cassoulet with a side of crusty bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion

Cassoulet is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, so it is a great option for a weeknight meal. With a little planning, you can have a delicious cassoulet on the table in no time.
