3 (398 ml) cans cannellini (white kidney) beans

3 fennel bulbs

1 small pkg fresh thyme

3 cloves garlic

6 pork sausages

1 ½ medium red onions

3 (213 ml) cans tomato sauce

3 yellow bell peppers

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

oregano, dried

panko bread crumbs

rosemary, dried

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim off root end and stalks of the fennel, leaving only the white bulbs. Halve fennel bulbs lengthwise, then slice crosswise into thin half-moons. Place in a large bowl.

Trim, seed, and medium dice bell peppers. Add to the bowl with the fennel.

Peel, halve, and mince onions; peel and mince garlic. Add both to the bowl.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, slide thyme leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Add half to the bowl with the veggies. Mince remaining thyme leaves, place in a small bowl, and set aside for later use.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add veggie-thyme mixture and spices; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes.

Meanwhile, drain and rinse beans.

When the veggies are done, add beans, tomato sauce, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then transfer to a large baking dish and nestle sausages into the stew.

Place baking dish in the oven and bake, turning sausages and stirring beans halfway through, until sausages are golden and cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, add bread crumbs to the bowl with the minced thyme and stir to combine.

To serve, divide cassoulet between plates or bowls and top with bread crumbs. Enjoy!
