Cassoulet is a traditional French dish of white beans baked and braised with meats. Its name comes from the type of pot it’s cooked in, the cassole d'Issel. Cassoulet originated in the Languedoc region in southwest France, a place I am VERY familiar with. Cassoulet was once considered a working man’s or farmhouse fare. It’s very hearty and fills the soul. I bring a modified version of a complex dish that you will find easy to work through.
