Notes
Tips and Tricks
Prepare all the ingredients before starting to cook. Chop the vegetables and measure out the spices and other ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient. Sauté the vegetables until they are slightly softened but still retain some texture. This will add depth and flavor to the Cassoulet. Allow the flavors to meld by simmering the dish for the recommended time. This will result in a more flavorful and cohesive final dish. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon or blend a small portion of the mixture before adding the tofu. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Feel free to add more herbs or spices if desired.Nutrition
