Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Pass 1 litre 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 ml 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 ml cooked meat in the bottom.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Spread the bean purée over the meat.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Top with 50 ml 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.
