Mixed Bean Cassoulet
Bake: 15 mins to 20 mins 350°F
Cook: 1 hr 30 mins
Stand: 1 hr
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dry Great Northern beans
- 3/4 cup dry pinto beans
- 1/2 cup dry garbanzo beans
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped carrot
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup water
- 2/3 cup dried porcini mushrooms
- 1/4 cup bottled roasted red sweet peppers, chopped
- 1/4 cup oil-packed dried tomatoes, drained and snipped
- 2 tablespoons roasted garlic puree
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups soft sourdough bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1 garlic, minced
Directions
Rinse beans. In a 4-quart Dutch oven combine beans and 8 cups water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. (Or, place beans in water in Dutch oven. Cover and let soak in a cool place for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.) Drain and rinse beans; set aside.
In the same Dutch oven cook the celery, onion, and carrot in hot oil over medium heat about 5 minutes or just until vegetables are tender. Add the drained beans, vegetable broth, the 1/4 cup water, and dried mushrooms. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
Stir in the roasted red peppers, dried tomatoes, garlic puree, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, and black pepper. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 30 minutes more or until beans are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Discard bay leaf.
Transfer the bean mixture to a 2-quart casserole. In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, melted butter, and garlic. Sprinkle over bean mixture. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until bread crumbs are lightly toasted.
