    Preparation Steps

    1

    Soak the dried white beans in cold water overnight, then drain. Simmer in fresh water for 30 minutes to parboil.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the diced bacon until crispy. Add the sausage slices and brown them.

    3

    Remove the bacon and sausage. In the rendered fat, brown the lamb cubes on all sides. Set the lamb aside.

    4

    In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and crushed garlic until softened. Add the tomato paste, stir well, and cook for 2-3 minutes.

    5

    In a large baking dish, layer the white beans, lamb, sausage, and bacon. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the sprigs of thyme and bay leaves.

    6

    Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs and bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for 1.5 hours, or until the cassoulet is set and the top is golden brown.

    7

    Serve hot with fresh bread or a side salad to complement the flavors.
