🇫🇷 France recipe

Cassoulet

The ultimate rustic French casserole, cassoulet hails from the Languedoc region and is a magnificent slow-baked dish of creamy white beans layered with duck confit, Toulouse sausages, and pork. The crust is broken and stirred back in multiple times during baking, building layer upon layer of golden, crunchy goodness.
