Delicious Pork Cassoulet Recipe - Authentic French Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 cup white beans (cooked or canned)
  • 1 cup onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 carrot diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp thyme (dried)
  • 1 tsp bay leaf
  • 1 cup smoked sausage (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and garlic, sauté until softened.

    Do not brown the garlic.
  2. Brown the Pork

    Add the pork cubes to the pot, browning on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

    Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  3. Add Sausage

    Stir in the sliced sausage, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

    Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Add the beans, chicken broth, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

    Ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
  5. Simmer

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve

    Remove bay leaf before serving. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot.

    Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor.
