Cassoulet is a rich slow-cooked French casserole dish meat (typically pork sausage, mutton) and white beans.

From what I hear, you could buy cassoulet in cans and jars in grocery stores over in France. The cheaper ones contain mostly beans and tomato sauce and bacon, as you might have already guessed, and the more expensive ones are cooked with goose fat and include lamb, Toulouse sausages, goose, and duck.

Today, we’re cooking the Mountain Cassoulet that requires smoked and roasted meats and aromatic vegetables.

This is another comfort food, so break out your biggest pot and pour yourself a glass of wine or beer, and don’t even get tempted with shortcuts. 🍷

There are a lot of steps involved, but it’s totally doable.

Cassoulet is never served with any accompaniments. I mean, this satisfying dish already has everything in it. What could we possibly accessorize it with? You could try a simple tossed salad, but that’s about it.
