Cassoulet is a copious dish made of white beans, pork and duck—and is absolutely delicious. Its long cooking time allows all the aromas to develop and create a wonderful marriage of flavours. This is a classic that’s not afraid of rich and complex flavours. Bonus: It leaves a sublime smell wafting through the house.
