Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Trim and halve the green beans. 

Drain and rinse the butter beans in a sieve.

Fry the Flavour
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. 

Once hot, add the garlic and tomato puree and cook for 1 min.

Sauce Time
3

Add the red wine stock paste, mixed herbs, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) to the pan. Stir to combine. 

Simmer your Cassoulet
4

Bring the sauce to the boil, then stir through the butter beans, green beans and tomatoes.

Lower the heat and simmer until slightly reduced and the tomatoes have softened, 15-17 mins.

Meanwhile, halve the ciabatta.

Toast the Ciabatta
5

When the cassoulet has 5 mins remaining, toast the ciabatta halves in your toaster until golden.

Once toasted, drizzle with oil and season with salt, then cut diagonally into triangles.

Stir the butter (see pantry for amount) through the cassoulet until melted. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. 

Serve Up
6

When everything's ready, share the cassoulet between your serving bowls.

Sprinkle over the grated hard Italian style cheese and drizzle over the pesto to finish.

Serve the ciabatta alongside.

Enjoy!
