    Directions

    1. The traditional French dish takes days to prepare and contains a generous portion of high-fat meats. By using sausage only, preparation time, fat and calories are all cut down without sacrificing flavour.
    2. In large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat; cook sausage, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme, pepper and cloves, stirring, for about 5 min or possibly till onions are softened. Add in tomatoes, breaking up with fork. Add in chicken stock and bay leaf; bring to boil. Add in beans; reduce heat and simmer for about 30 min or possibly till slightly thickened. Throw away bay leaf.
    3. [Can be prepared to this point, cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day. Or possibly freeze for up to 1 week; thaw in refrigerator for up to 36 hrs. Add in 45 min to 1 hour to baking time.]
    4. Topping: In saucepan, heat butter over medium heat. Add in garlic; cook for about 2 min or possibly till softened. Stir in bread crumbs and minced parsley; sprinkle over cassoulet. Bake in 350F 180C oven for about 30 min or possibly till crusty and golden brown on top, bubbly and heated through.
