DRINKS
The spiced elements in this dish make our new Vin de Orange, Le Son de la Terre, a great choice. Rhone or Languedoc reds such as Saint-Chinian would also work well. For non-alc, a glass of OddBird will provide delicate sweetness to balance the spice.
SIDES
Yes, it does come with frites, but does it need some bread? Absolutely! A basket of bread to soak up all the delicious sauce is a must. And why not recommend some French beans amandine as well?
The cassoulet story goes back all the way to the Hundred Years’ War, when the inhabitants of Castelnaudary, under siege from the English, pooled their remaining food to cook up a dish so hearty that their men were able to push the northern hordes back to the Channel.
