Quick Cassoulet
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1⁄2 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14 1/2ounce) can diced tomatoes, not drained
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic; cook and stir for a few minutes, until the onion is transparent. Add the sausage to the skillet, and cook for a few more minutes to brown.
- Pour in the kidney beans, cannellini beans and tomatoes, and season with the bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover, and reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender.
- Remove bay leaves and discard. Sprinkle parsley over the top, and serve.
- Some good variations - use Herbs de Provence instead of the other herbs listed. Substitute white wine for some of the juice. Great Northern Beans also work instead of cannellini beans.
- Great as leftovers! Serve with bread.
