French-Style Cassoulet

It's said the first cassoulet was made during the Hundred Years War in the besieged French town of Castelnaudary, where the townspeople threw whatever they had into a large pot to stave off hunger at the hands of the British. We can't confirm nor deny that, but we can tell you our simplified take on the classic French stew is set to become a warming favourite at your place. Bringing slow-cooked flavour in less than an hour, it’s the perfect dish for chilly weeknights.
