Hydrate the gelatin in the stock, by sprinkling the dry gelatin over the stock and letting it sit.

Brown the sausage links and any spare chicken that didn't fit into the pot with the original chicken, and remove from the dutch oven.

Quick and Easy Cassoulet Quick and Easy Cassoulet
I created this recipe for a contest run by one of my favorite restaurants, Mimi's. Unfortunately I didn't win the contest and my local Mimi's didn't make it through the pandemic. I do, however, think my recipe is pretty darn good! When I thought about the theme of this contest, I immediately envisioned comfort food that would appeal to both American and French culture and I quickly settled on this baked bean dish. In France, that would be the cassoulet, a hearty dish of duck and pork and beans; in America, the dish would feature a more tomato-based dish with some type of pork as the main meat. I combined the essence of both to make my own American version of cassoulet with chicken as the main meat accented with fresh Polish pork sausage and bits of ham. Since this was to be an American dish with a French accent, I cooked the beans with a more traditional tomato-based sauce.The hardest part of making this dish was the ten ingredient limitation. I had to make some hard decisions about what to eliminate. I made the assumption that salt and pepper were ingredients, so I had to come up with alternatives. The sausage and ham provided the salt and Herbs de Provence gave the dish it’s unique flavor. Garlic was essential so the flavor came from the fresh Polish sausage and the fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do!

Quick and Easy Cassoulet (Baked Bean Casserole) Quick and Easy Cassoulet (Baked Bean Casserole)
Since fall has been officially declared (even though we are still in the 90s here in Florida) my thoughts immediately went to making a hearty bean casserole. A cassoulet is comfort food that would appeal to both American and French culture. In France, cassoulet would be a hearty dish of duck and pork and white beans; in America, the dish would feature a more tomato-based dish with pork as the main meat. I combined the essence of both to make my own American version of cassoulet with chicken as the main meat accented with fresh Polish pork sausage and bits of ham. The sausage and ham provided the salt and Herbs de Provence give the dish it’s unique flavor. Garlic was essential so the flavor came from the fresh Polish sausage and the fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic. This is an absolutely delicious meal! -
California Farm Pulled Pork Cassoulet Dinner California Farm Pulled Pork Cassoulet Dinner
We made pulled pork dinner portions and froze them. We also make a french bean dinner called Cassoulet, which we normally make with lamb, and tried it with pulled pork instead of lamb and liked it.Here is the recipe for six dinners in one pan. Easy to make in dutch oven, air fryer or crock pot or slow cooker: prep and forget. The longer it simmers, the better it gets. Freezes well.

Ouefs en Cocotte Ouefs en Cocotte
Adapted from a youtube video with Jacques Pépin. I used a couple of large white ramekins for this, but you can improvise with maybe mason jars or small bowls or something. Jacques doesn't really give the recipe in the video. I figure he uses shallot instead of onion, and I added the frozen peas. A very rich dish, so be prepared.
