Many cultures have a pork and bean dish, and in France, that dish is cassoulet. At its core, cassoulet is peasant food—traditionally made by working-class French families using whatever meat scraps they had on hand. While some of its ingredients are now considered pricey, it was once a humble, practical dish built around staples like beans, vegetables, and duck confit, which was often stored in cellars for the winter months. Cassoulet is one of my favorites. It takes time, but it’s not difficult to make. While we might not have the same free time as people did before electricity, it's worth the effort. Make it once, and I guarantee you’ll be hooked.
