Ingredients

Cassoulet

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 leeks white parts, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 2 carrots large, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes can
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 30 ounces white beans of choice cans, rinsed and drained

Breadcrumbs

  • 1 cup bread crumbs coarse, good quality
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 lemon zested
  • 1/4 cup parsley fresh, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, leeks and celery. Cook until soft. Add the carrots and cook until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the mixture to the slow cooker, followed by the rest of the cassoulet ingredients. Cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, until vegetables are tender. Lightly mash some of the beans to thicken the cassoulet.
  • Make the breadcrumbs by combining the breadcrumbs with the olive oil and garlic. Lay in an even layer on a baking sheet and lightly toast in a 350 degree oven, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool and combine with the parsley and lemon zest.
  • To serve, spoon the cassoulet into individual ramekins and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Alternatively, sprinkle breadcrumbs directly on the cassoulet in the slow cooker and serve from there.
