Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound quality pork or chicken sausages
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium heat.
  2. Brown the sausages on all sides. Remove the sausages and set them aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, both cans of beans, broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
  6. Return the browned sausages to the pot. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer on the stovetop.
  8. Cover the pot and transfer it to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve hot.

Notes

  • We suggest using good quality sausages; they make a big difference in the final flavor.
  • For an extra crispy topping, uncover the cassoulet for the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • This dish tastes even better the next day. Plan to make extra.
