Cassoulet- a traditional dish from the South-West of France
This iconic French dish combines tender stewed beans, juicy duck confit, and flavorful pork sausages. The duck legs drumsticks are duck legs cooked at low temperature in their own fat until they are perfectly confited.
The origins of cassoulet date back to the Middle Ages. At that time, it was known as a stew, a meat dish in sauce that simmers slowly by the fireside. This stew was cooked at the end of the 14th century in a special earthenware dish, the cassole, which later gave its name to the legendary recipe.
Cassoulet’s popularity is partly due to its versatility and its ability to adapt to various ingredients and regional variations. Each region of France offers its own version, with subtle differences in ingredients and preparation – making cassoulet a rich and diverse dish steeped in culinary history.
