Notes about this recipe

This is a great pan of "pork & beans". No fennel on hand so I used extra leeks & added some frozen cubes of mire poix. I used "Cumberland" sausages (a new favourite...yum!) & cut them into 1" chunks at the start. Just before the oven, I emptied a jar of a very smooth "smoky, roasted salsa” which added body & another layer of flavour. We agreed that this was seriously good.

Served with a green salad with radishes and grainy mustard dressing, and pan toasted buttered fresh rolls. I also added a bone-in skinned chicken thigh I had leftover in the fridge and it became even more juicy soaking in the beans. Everyone had 2nds.

Very good and definitely agree on the note to serve with cornichons and mustard.

Made with the recommended side salad + mustard dressing, and drizzled some of the mustard dressing into the dishes for serving instead of eating it with straight mustard. Delightful.

Deeply flavorful. Worth the effort to get it in the oven and wait for it. I forgot to take out the mustard for serving .. dang i’ll just have to make it again

I halved this but I should have kept more liquid and/or reduced the cook time; it unfortunately really dried out in the oven. The flavors were still delicious though.

This was really incredible. The beans were some of the best I have ever had (and I eat a lot of beans!) My thirteen year old son said, "I think this new cookbook is a hit! Can I take the leftover beans for lunch tomorrow?" We ate this, as suggested, with mustard and cornichons and a salad (also from the book). Absolutely incredible dinner.

Used this as a loose guideline for a cassoulet for dinner. I omitted the fennel and used dried black eyes peas instead of canned beans. Added some chunked chicken thighs to the bake, and topped with panko. Really tasty! And the book as a whole looks like it will be great to cook from!
