VEGAN BEAN CASSOULET
An easy veggie cassoulet. I hate to use 2 pots, so if you have a cast iron casserole that goes stove top to oven, use that (although it is nice to have a big surface area for the bread topping). Update Jan 2011 - I forgot to give proper credit for this recipe, I believe it came from the original Moosewood cookbook, adapted from there. Having made this a few times now and as one reviewer mentioned below, you could take or leave potatoes in this. It's more filling with them, but they don't add a whole lot. When including them be sure to cut in a fairly small dice because they've got to cook through in about 45 mins. If the pieces are too large they won't be done. I've really come to love this recipe though, find a nice blend of herbes de provence, it really makes it. Bon Apetit!
