Uggghhhh!!!!!

Dec 6 th and a chapter headed " A big useful casserole". 

A recipe "in" says Mr Slater "....the rich tradition of old fashioned good housekeeping."

Butter bean cassoulet .

When I read this recipe I shuddered - ugghh - having once had cassoulet in a London restaurant ( a well known one in fact ) and hating it. Everything about it, the textures, the look of the pale almost undercooked sausages - again ugghh!!!!!

This, however, must be tried. The sausages cooked "......until golden on all sides...." Before adding back to the " cassoulet" meant this dish looked more inviting. 

Lovely flavours running through and the beans were OK too. 

A success, will make again,  ideal for our British winters. I served with crusty bread to mop up the sauce. ( Much nicer than the posh London restaurant)
