    1 Heat half the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole dish (which has a lid) over medium heat on the stovetop. Add sausages; cook for 5—7 minutes or until golden. Add chicken; cook for 5 minutes or until lightly coloured. Transfer meats to a plate and set aside.

    2 Preheat oven to 180°C. Reduce heat to low. Add remaining olive oil to dish. Add onion, carrot and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until vegetables start to caramelise.

    3 Return reserved meats to dish with garlic, stock, tomatoes and thyme. Cover dish, transfer stew to oven and cook for 20 minutes.

    4 Uncover dish, stir in beans and return to oven for 40 minutes, or until cassoulet is bubbling.

    5 Scatter breadcrumbs and pumpkin seeds over cassoulet and serve.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and check sausages and stock are gluten free.

    HFG tip

    Here’s why OUR cassoulet is healthier

    • Traditional cassoulet is full of fatty meats like bacon, sausage and chicken drumsticks. This recipe uses skinless chicken thigh fillets and sausages with less than 15% fat to cut the saturated fat by a whopping 70 per cent!
    • Reduced-salt chicken stock, no-added-salt canned tomatoes and less salty meat slash the sodium content by 50 per cent, while fresh herbs and garlic add aroma and flavour.
    • Adding extra veges to the mix and crunchy seeds to the topping lifts your fibre intake to around 50 per cent of your daily target.
    • Fibre-rich beans make this stew super-satisfying, allowing you to cut not only the amount of meat, but also the cost!
    • Our changes cut 1700kJ per serve!
