Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Pass 1 kg white haricot beans (cooked beforehand or from a tin) through a vegetable mill into a saucepan...

Stage 2

...to make a bean purée.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Put on medium heat. When hot, stir or whisk in 50 g cream.

Salt, pepper, then check the seasoning.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Butter a gratin dish and arrange 500 g cooked meat in the bottom.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Spread the bean purée over the meat.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Top with 50 g grated cheese.

Stage 7 - 30 min.

Bake for about 30 minutes until nicely browned.

Remarks

For a crustier topping, you can add a little home-made breadcrumb coating and mix this with the grated cheese in stage 6.

For something closer to a real cassoulet, use chunks or slices of sausage instead of the meat.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film. Freezes very well.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
