Ingredients

1 lb dried white beans
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 strips bacon, chopped
4 sausages, such as Toulouse or garlic sausage
4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups beef broth
1 can diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Soak the dried white beans in water overnight. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and bacon. Cook until the vegetables are soft and the bacon is crispy.
Push the mixture to one side of the pot and add the sausages and chicken thighs. Cook until browned on all sides.
Add the soaked beans, chicken broth, beef broth, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, or until the beans are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the sausages and chicken thighs from the pot and add them to the skillet. Cook until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside.
Remove the bay leaves from the pot and transfer the bean mixture to a large baking dish. Place the browned sausages and chicken thighs on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Serve the cassoulet hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
