Chef John's Quick Cassoulet Recipe | Allrecipes image

We've taken some short cuts to make a quick version of the French classic, cassoulet. Chicken thighs replace the classic, and time-consuming, duck confit; canned beans replace dried; and bacon serves as a convenient substitute for other, more involved smoked pork options.

8 ounces smoked sausage, sliced
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
1 onion, diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups chicken broth, plus more if needed

EASY FRENCH CASSOULET WITH WINE, BEANS, SAUSAGE, HAM AND ...

This cassoulet is a wonderful and EASY one-pan variation of the French classic! Great, warming comfort food that takes the chill off in the colder months. Very hearty and welcoming to come home to after a winter's walk or some sledding fun! Serve the steaming cassoulet in bowls accompanied with a baguette or corn bread, a tossed salad, and a nice glass of cider or wine. ENJOY! Notes: Chopped kielbasa will work in place of the bulk pork sausage, and ground allspice in place of the cloves. Also dry white vermouth in place of dry white wine, is good. Can be baked in a 2-quart size casserole dish (deep rather than shallow), if you do not have a Dutch oven.

1. Cook the great northern beans if they're not already cooked. If you're starting with dry beans, this recipe uses roughly 1 pound of dry beans. Ideally, the beans would be cooked in a rich stock but you can use pre-cooked canned beans to save time. 2. Simmer the can of tomato paste in the red wine to reduce slightly, and make a sauce. Stir in fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage. Pour half the sauce over the beans and mix. Reserve the remaining sauce to adjust moisture levels later. 3. Cook the bacon and brown all the meats, then set aside. 4. Cook the chopped parsnips, carrots, garlic, and onions until browned in the fat from the meat. Add a bit of olive oil if necessary to prevent sticking. 5. Mix the cooked vegetables into the beans in a dutch oven. 6. Layer in the meats, lining the bacon around the edges and ensuring that the sausages and pork shoulder are completely covered by beans. 7. Add in the remaining sauce. 8. Bake at 350 for at least an hour to allow the flavors to combine. Preferably 2-3 hours. 9. Top with bread crumbs and melted butter and brown using a high broiler. 10. Serve in bowls with a crusty bread and a hearty beer.

LAZY CHICKEN-AND-SAUSAGE CASSOULET RECIPE - MOLLY STEVENS ...

Cassoulet ranks as one of French Provincial cooking’s most iconic recipes, and it’s one I've been besotted with since I was young cook. My first encounter with the regional classic (broadly described as a hearty casserole of beans, various meats, sausages, and poultry) was in the writings of Richard Olney and Elizabeth David. These legendary food writers portrayed the dish with such passion and poeticism that my 23-year-old self actually made a pilgrimage to southwest France just to eat it in situ—and, I dared hope, to unlock the secret to making great cassoulet at home.For more than a week, I travelled around Languedoc and Gascony voraciously tasting my way through versions that ranged from sumptuous feasts (crowded with duck confit, goose, sausage, pork belly, pork trotters, lamb breast, lamb stew, and game meats) to deliciously modest examples (no more than pork-studded bean casseroles baked under crunchy breadcrumb crusts). In the end, the infinite variety far outlasted my appetite—and my travel budget. I returned home with the understanding that there is no single best cassoulet, and, perhaps more importantly, I felt free to adapt this rustic dish to suit my own appetite and cooking routines.In the decades since my cassoulet quest, my fondness for this meat-enriched bean gratin has not wavered, and I continually play around with various formulas and techniques. But the version I crave most remains the simplest: one that I can get on the dinner table in under an hour. I start with boneless, skinless chicken thighs (unless I have leftover roast chicken, which works great, too). If I have duck fat on hand, I use it to sauté the chicken for an extra flavor boost (and because that's the fat most used in southwest France), but any neutral-tasting oil will do. Either way, the chicken should be tender, cooked through, and well-seasoned. Then it's a matter of sautéing an onion, a healthy amount of garlic, and a heap of smoked sausage to create a flavor base that will carry through the entire dish. A bit of tomato paste ups the umami quotient, and a splash of white wine contributes just enough acid to balance the richness.From there, everything gets gently folded together with cooked white beans (canned or home-cooked), spread in a shallow dish (either a gratin or a heavy skillet), topped with breadcrumbs, and baked until bubbling hot on the inside and crunchy-golden on top. Add a green salad, and you've got one of the most enduring and satisfying bean-and-meat dishes ever.
