SMOKED SAUSAGE CASSOULET
Steps:
- 1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add onion, thyme, rosemary, and garlic to drippings in pan; sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in crumbled bacon, salt, pepper, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. 2. Place half of beans in a large bowl; mash with a potato masher until chunky. Add remaining half of beans, pork, and sausage; stir well. Place half of bean mixture in a 3 1/2-quart electric slow cooker; top with half of tomato mixture. Repeat layers. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: A good smoked sausage will have a firm texture and a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. Look for a sausage that is made with high-quality meat and spices.
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight will help to soften them and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Cassoulet is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and zucchini. You can also add some herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Cook the cassoulet low and slow: Cassoulet is a slow-cooked dish. The longer you cook it, the better the flavors will develop. Aim to cook the cassoulet for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours if you have the time.
- Serve the cassoulet with a crusty bread: Cassoulet is traditionally served with a crusty bread, such as baguette or sourdough. The bread can be used 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 great way to use up leftover vegetables and sausage. With a little planning, you can easily make a delicious cassoulet that your family and friends will love.
