Cumberland sausage cassoulet recipe

By

This Cumberland sausage cassoulet is the ultimate comfort food – easy to make and, best of all, a one-pan wonder! I love serving it with chunks of crusty bread, but it’s equally delicious with George’s creamy mashed potatoes recipe and a side of greens. Don’t skip the balsamic drizzle at the end – it brings the whole dish to life.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and brown the sausages on both sides. Once nicely coloured, remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add the celery and onion to the pan along with a knob of butter. Fry the vegetables for a few minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the garlic, and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Add the sage and rosemary, stirring them into the vegetables.
  6. Mix in the tomato purée and cook for 1-minute.
  7. Crumble in the stock cube and pour in the white wine. Cook until the alcohol smell evaporates.
  8. Add the drained beans and pour in just enough water to cover them.
  9. Return the sausages to the pan, add the bay leaves, and transfer to the oven.
  10. Cook for 45-minutes.
  11. Once out of the oven, drizzle a few swigs of balsamic over the dish.
  12. I like to slice the sausages in the pan and stir everything together.
  13. Serve with big chunks of crusty bread.
