Sausages And Beans

Sausage and beans is a very comforting meal. And a cassoulet is really a sophisticated way of cooking them in one pot. Traditional cassoulet also contains chicken and may be some gammon. This is a simplified cassoulet made from sausages, beans and vegetables and is very delicious and easy to make.

Comforting, nourishing and delicious, sausage cassoulet is easy to make and a real winter warmer. It is very economical too. Great to share with friends

I used mixed beans and chickpeas as the beans but you can use what you have or whatever you prefer.

Cannellini or haricot beans are the traditional beans used. You can use tinned beans or dried beans pre-soaked and boiled. If you use tinned beans you may even like to use mixed beans that are in a chilli sauce. You can also make this dish with vegetarian sausages.

Variety Of Vegetables

This recipe uses celery, tomatoes, carrots and leeks but do use other vegetables if you wish.

If you are using meat sausages – Ideally get them from a local butcher or Farmers market where you can trust where the meat has come from and check they have a high meat content. I used some locally made pork and apple sausages last time I cooked this dish.

Season To Suit Your Taste

Season with a bay leaf and some mixed herbs or use some thyme. This dish benefits from plenty of black pepper too. A pinch of cayenne will give it a bit of a kick – or serve with some English mustard.

Serve with mashed potato or boiled new potatoes and a green vegetable such as cabbage or broccoli. Sausage cassoulet will freeze well so you can double up the quantities and make enough for another day.

It’s a dish that is good for an informal supper with friends too. Delicious with some red wine!
