Cassoulet is a Fench casserole which can be translated to White Bean Stew. There are as many recipes for Cassoulet as there are cooks. This dish always contains white beans and usually meat, maybe bacon, ham bone, duck confit or sausage and is simmered, so it makes a great meal for a cold night.
But today I was going to make Roast Chicken with Apple Cider Gravy and after looking in my pantry and fridge was inspired to make a Veggie Cassoulet to go with it.

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 2 celery ribs, diced
- 1 cup zucchini, diced
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1-19 oz. can white kidney beans or cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 1-2 tsp liquid smoke (optional)


Looks fabulous! I think I might have to try this soon - thanks!
