Baked Bean cassoulet
August24
Finally had the baked bean cassoulet last night, that was recommended by Virgil Evetts over at Foodlovers.co.nz
for my pantry project. You can read more about my experiences of not shopping for four weeks here: http://www.bargainbetty.co.nz/2010/07/16/how-to-cut-your-grocery-bill-1/
It was a budget meal to say the least. Only expensive ingredients were bacon and four small chorizo. I do have to say that chorizos are pretty reasonably priced in the deli at Third World Devonport.
The dish was a real hit. Even with me – the great baked bean hater. Definitely worth doing again. And I might cook some regular cassoulets in the near future. Bean-based meals usually go down reasonably well in this household.
I have now found the BB cassoulet – what brand of BB did Virgil suggest.
I don’t actually have any BB in my pantry (oops read kitchen cupboards) – I’m more into have just the raw beans and dealing to them that way…
Can you freeze the cassoulet as well?
I could probably find the answers but I’m all answered out today – this arvo a test on the Pop music industry in NZ!
I used one can of Oak and one can of Watties. I’m sure it would freeze well. One of the aspects of the recipe that I really liked was the bread crumbs. Sounded odd in the recipe, but worked really well in practice.
