Time 2h20m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups dried navy beans, rinsed, soaked overnight and drained
8 cups water
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 14 1/2-ounce can stewed tomatoes, with their liquid
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 cup white wine
8 smoked ham hocks, meat cut from bones and shredded, bones reserved
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
3 teaspoons butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Place the beans and the water in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover partly and simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a large, wide ovenproof pot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute until golden, about 7 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Stir in the tomatoes, thyme, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the beans, sage and wine. Add the ham hock bones, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the bones from the pan and stir in the meat. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top and dot with butter. Bake for 15 minutes. Divide among 6 plates and serve.

This cassoulet is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it the day before and then reheat it when you're ready to serve.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this cassoulet without the ham hocks. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables and beans to make up for the lack of meat.
