Ingredients
For the Cassoulet
- 3 15 oz cans of cannellini beans rinsed and drained
- 2 tbs avocado oil
- 2 medium leeks white and light green parts sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
- 6 carrots peeled and chopped
- 4 celery stalks chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 4 cups water or broth
For the Bread Crumbs
- 3 cups bread crumbs gluten free or whole wheat
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- dash of salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot, saute the leeks, carrots, celery, and garlic in the avocado oil with the thyme and bay leaf over medium-low heat, covered, until veggies are beginning to get tender (about 10 minutes). Stir occasionally.
- Add the beans, salt, pepper, and water to the pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then turn the heat down to medium low and simmer gently, partially covered, for 25 minutes.
- While the cassoulet is simmering, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the bread crumbs with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Spread the mixture in an 8 by 8 inch baking pan and toast it in the oven for about 15 minutes, until golden and crisp. Stir once or twice during the 15 minutes.
- When the cassoulet is finished cooking, taste it and add more salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf and fresh thyme. Sprinkle with bread crumbs just before serving.
