Notes:

Cassoulet: Traditional French Cassoulet is a meaty stew of poultry, pork sausage, and beans, all under a rich, dark brown crust.)

Uli prefers to use dried beans as he feels they have a better flavor and soaking overnight takes no effort at all, but if you’re pressed for time then use canned and skip the soaking.

Add spinach (optional)
