I had never heard of it being such a slow-cooking dish - in fact I don't think I've ever tried it, although I also have a recipe marked to try one day!

It combines so many rich flavors, and I'd imagine the cheese and breadcrumbs are hardly necessary. <BR/><BR/>In other news, I recently passed an award along to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-80085020469617807002008-07-21T21:50:00.000+10:002008-07-21T21:50:00.000+10:00This does sound like a version of cassoulet that d...This does sound like a version of cassoulet that does more than simply remove the meat--great combination of flavors and textures, as you mention! And though I'm not a fan of fennel, this may be a way for me to actually enjoy it for once (maybe I need to cook it for 20 years?) ;)<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of breaking the crust, too--how crispy it looks now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-31487136188875662902008-07-21T12:05:00.000+10:002008-07-21T12:05:00.000+10:00And isn't this just the weather for a rich, satisf...And isn't this just the weather for a rich, satisfying peasant dish?
