Cassoulet Recipe Kit
-
In Stock
Cassoulet is a traditional, thick bean and meat stew from the Southwest of France, where it takes on almost religious importance. Every town has a variation of the recipe, and each believes its interpretation is the only true cassoulet. We offer an easy-to-follow recipe kit that will make you an expert in no time (and a believer in the superiority of our version). If it's your first time making cassoulet, be sure to check the cooking tips before you begin. Cassoulet makes a hearty meal that is perfect for sharing with friends along with a bottle (or two) of robust red wine.
With or without the clay bowl, our cassoulet kit makes a marvelous gift for those who love to cook. In fact, it is mentioned as such in the Bloomberg Business Week holiday gift guide for 2015.
Note: Please see individual product pages for nutritional, allergen information, and expiration dates. The meat ingredients can be stored frozen to make cassoulet at a later date.

Cooking Tips:
If using your own pot or Dutch oven be sure it is 8-9 quarts to accommodate the large cassoulet recipe kit and 3-4 quarts for the small kit. Any vessel for cooking cassoulet must be able to go from stovetop to oven safely.
While our recipe recommends cutting each duck leg confit in half at the joint, you can also shred the duck meat off the bones if you prefer. This can be helpful if you’re serving a very large crowd. Additional meats, like sausage or our chicken confit can be added.
Don’t hesitate to cut open the crust to check if the casserole is drying out too much inside. The texture should be that of a thick stew. If the texture seems too dry or pasty, add some liquid, such as stock or demi-glace. Cassoulet is quite filling, so is often served with a refreshing salad, a slice of rustic bread to mop out the bowl, and a hearty red wine like Madiran or Malbec.
From charcuterie gift boxes packed with bold flavors, to our signature recipe kits -- including the classic cassoulet -- our gifts and samplers are carefully curated to make gift giving easy and enjoyable. Offering a taste of D'Artagnan, they not only make wonderful gifts for food lovers, but are also the perfect way for you to experience a variety of our quality products at home.
