Rich Tomato Cassoulet

This rich warming dish is traditionally served with Pork Sausages, Duck Confit and Bacon but can be served without for a Vegan Friendly option. If you fancy a spicy kick Spicy Nduja is an amazing addition I enjoy, just don't go too crazy, to avoid greasiness.

Either add to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours approx. Or transfer into a casserole dish and bake in the oven on 150 Celsius for 3-4 hours approx. stiring occasionally to ensure optimal cooking.
