I made this for dinner last night ( my husband is a meat and potatoes man, my kids ages 1 and 3 don’t like beans) It was out of this world!!!!! I’d give it 5 stars!!! My husband had a second helping and my kids LOVED it, they cleaned their plates! I used vegetable stock and I think next time I make it I’m going to use chorizo sausage.

This was *amazing*. I skipped the bread crumbs, forgot the stock entirely and seasoned it with some italian seasonings instead of the parsley and thyme sprigs (I was in a bit of a rush…). I also made it in the crock pot and it turn out perfect. I looked at the gourmet recipe and was surprised to find no tomatoes! Seriously- how can you *not* put tomatoes in this dinner? At the end, I also pulled out about 1/4 of the cassoulet and blended it in the blender and mixed it back in before adding the sausage. I think it added a nice thickness to it. We served it over brown rice. Yum! Thanks for the recipe. This one’s a keeper!

I’m accustomed to 14 oz cans and 28 oz cans of beans and tomatoes. Am I missing something here with the 19 oz references? Anyone?

Thanks.

I know I’m a bit late to the party, but I just made this tonight and it’s fantastic! I didn’t add the meat, but added a few drops of liquid smoke instead and it’s great.

This looked so good, I immediately went out an ordered beans, but now I’m stumped. How much of the dried, uncooked flageolet beans did you cook to get four and a half cups cooked? I can’t wait to make it! Thanks!

Oh, you little vixen you! You’ve gone and read my mind…if only you could beam me up a bowl of cassoulet – ala Star Trek…I’m in desperate need of a bowl, or even a cup, just a large soup spoon really – that would do it! I’ve been reading cassoulet recipes for the last week – ever since I purchased this new Southwest French cookbook – saw this recipe in Gourmet, tour it out and put it in the heap – I’ll get to it, eventually, but planned on using chicken…now I may just have to pluck some sausage instead…or use both – a gumbo cassoulet perhaps! I’m going to dream about this, I just know it! Nan

How about re-titling it since it is not, in fact, vegetarian at all?

If only I liked beans. And damn if those farm pictures don’t make me jealous. I love farms. I’d trade a farm for a bean any day of the week.

Hi Deb,

I could use some advice here. I’m Christian and my oh, so thoughtful neighbors are Jewish (not kosher). They are so kind to my children at Christmas and I would like to repay their kindness by making them something for Passover. Can you recommend and do you have a recipe for something idiot-proof that is traditional for Passover?
Thanks!
P.S. Still waiting for the B&W cookie recipe.
