Cassoulet is a traditional French stew originating in the southern countryside province of Languedoc. Reminiscent of the great American chili, white beans and sausage simmer in harmony alongside earthy root vegetables. A blanket of Parmesan sits atop the dish, creating warm a warm embrace of flavor. It's comforting, yet elegant, and with one bite, you'll be shouting “sacrebleu!"
