Cassoulet

A nice traditional French dish. It's the first time I ever done it. It sounded good to me so I decided to give it a go . Most of the dinners have potatoes with them. This one has got beans as a means of starch instead.

Cassoulet

Ingredients

4 chicken legs
6 sausages
50g of chorizo sausage
1 tin haricot beans
1 tin cannellini beans
1 onion
1 tbsp tomato puree'
1 liter hot chicken stock
Thyme
1 bay leave
Seasoning

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: Over an hour
Serves : four
Level: medium

Method

Turn your oven at 180 degrees. When hot enough, put your chicken legs in and leave to cook for 25 minutes. I drizzled some olive oil on the chicken legs and seasoned them before putting in the oven. In the mean you can start with frying the chorizo sausage. After a minute or two add the onion and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the thyme, bay leave and season. Stir everything and add the tomato puree' and the stock. Bring everything to a boil, take the chicken out of the oven and add to the pan. Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Grill your sausages following the instructions on the pack. After 30 minutes uncover the pan and add the drained beans. Leave to cook for another 15 minutes before adding the sausages to the pan. Cook for a further 15 minutes or until all the liquid is evaporated from the pan. Serve with some vegetables of your likings, I used carrots and broccoli.
