Cassoulet

Anything goes bean stew/soup dish.


The basic Ingredients:

• Beans: White haricot are my favourite. Almost any beans are good
• Meat: Something tasty, any of: sausage, bacon, mutton, turkey, smoked...
• Veggies: Onion, potatoes
• Herbs: Garlic, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, parsley, Juniper berries, S&P

The process:

• Add to pot and cook.
• Keep the beans to the meat ratio high on the beans side. 
• Liquids (Stock): 3 to 1 ratio to the beans, more means a soup.  Also consider some flour as this will make for a rich liquid.
• Add to pressure cooker and cook for 30 minutes with the heaviest weight.
