About

Pork Cassoulet is listed as pork from France. The steps below are the imported TheMealDB method, not an editorial rewrite. Times shown were read from those steps.

Ingredients

Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Put a large ovenproof pan (with a tight-fitting lid) on a high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add your fat and diced meat, cook for a few mins to seal the edges, giving it a quick stir to cook evenly. Reduce the heat to low, add the sliced onion, whole garlic cloves, carrot and fennel seeds, and cook gently to soften the veg for a few mins.

  3. Step 3

    Pour over the red wine vinegar, scraping any meaty bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the stock, tomato purée, and half the rosemary and parsley.

  4. Step 4

    Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins, then season, cover with a lid and put into the oven for 2 hrs, removing the lid for the final hour of cooking. Stir occasionally and add the beans with 30 mins to go.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the pan from the oven and heat the grill. Scatter the top with the remaining herbs and breadcrumbs, drizzle a little oil over the top, and return to the oven for 5-10 mins, until the breadcrumbs are golden.

    10 min
  6. Step 6

    Serve with crusty bread and green veg.

Substitutions

  • pork mushroom

    Chopped mushrooms plus a splash of soy. Different dish, same comfort.

  • onion shallot

    Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have.

  • garlic (garlic powder or a pinch of onion) garlic powder or a pinch of onion

    1 clove ≈ ¼ tsp garlic powder. The fresh bite will be missing.

  • tomato (passata or canned chopped tomatoes) passata or canned chopped tomatoes

    Canned tomatoes are often better than pale fresh ones out of season.
