Truth is, I am not sure it was a popular casserole in my household. We didn\u2019t eat it that often at home. Yet, it is this very same dish I shared as my first publication in <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/bonspoonmedia\/docs\/winter_2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chef&#8217;s Corner Magazine<\/a> last January. This must only mean one thing. I treasure scrumptious memories of it.<\/p>\n<h2>I think I accidentally discovered this casserole when I was 10 or 12 at a great aunt\u2019s.<\/h2>\n<p>We had stopped by on a Saturday. A pot was simmering on the stove. As is customary in some big Haitian families, she had immediately invited to partake in the feast that was to follow. \u00a0That invitation had left me confused. I couldn&#8217;t understand why our aunt had extended it. After all, she had invited us to eat a bowl of s\u00f2s pwa. There was nothing special to that. We <a href=\"http:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/sos-pwa-haitian-bean-sauce\/\">ate bean sauce on a daily basis<\/a>. Whether they were red, black or white beans, it didn\u2019t make any difference. Or so I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Incredulous, I watched as they served us that bean concoction alongside white rice without any of the usual side dishes. I couldn\u2019t help but wonder whether everyone had gone mad or not. How could they expect to feed an entire table with just rice and beans? I was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>I distractedly listened as an uncle explained we were not about to eat just another bowl of s\u00f2s pwa. According to him, I absolutely had to give it a chance. I struggled to believe there could be anything special to that casserole, especially since I already knew we added lardons to our regular bean sauce. What could this white bean puree have that justified its presence as a standalone dish? I was quickly going to answer my own question.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3258\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/haitian-style-cassoulet-a-true-comfort-food\/haitian-style-cassoulet-tchakayiti\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/haitian-style-cassoulet-tchakayiti.jpg?fit=1200%2C1800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;All rights reserved.

Truth is, I am not sure it was a popular casserole in my household. We didn\u2019t eat it that often at home. Yet, it is this very same dish I shared as my first publication in Chef&#8217;s Corner Magazine last January. This must only mean one thing. I treasure scrumptious memories of it. I think I accidentally discovered this casserole when I was 10 or 12 at a great aunt\u2019s. We had stopped by on a Saturday. A pot was simmering on the stove. As is customary in some big Haitian families, she had immediately invited to partake in the feast that was to follow. \u00a0That invitation had left me confused. I couldn&#8217;t understand why our aunt had extended it. After all, she had invited us to eat a bowl of s\u00f2s pwa. There was nothing special to that. We ate bean sauce on a daily basis. Whether they were red, black or white beans, it didn\u2019t make any difference. Or so I thought. Incredulous, I watched as they served us that bean concoction alongside white rice without any of the usual side dishes. I couldn\u2019t help but wonder whether everyone had gone mad or not. How could they expect to feed an entire table with just rice and beans? I was shocked. I distractedly listened as an uncle explained we were not about to eat just another bowl of s\u00f2s pwa. According to him, I absolutely had to give it a chance. I struggled to believe there could be anything special to that casserole, especially since I already knew we added lardons to our regular bean sauce. What could this white bean puree have that justified its presence as a standalone dish? I was quickly going to answer my own question. That day, I discovered joy in a bowl of white s\u00f2s pwa &#8230; oops, I mean in a cassoulet. I partook in a rich and copious meal. What I had called a simple bowl of \u201cs\u00f2s pwa\u201d was actually a true casserole. It was packed with smoked pork chunks, salt-cured meats and sausages that quickly filled my stomach. I even forgot all about the traditional side dishes I was so used to. This is one cassoulet evening I never forgot. That can only mean one thing. My aunt\u2019s had left a great impression. Please note that the recipe I am sharing with you today is not hers. It is one I put together after gathering instructions here and there. But, if this is your first time eating our Haitian cassoulet, I promise you, you\u2019re in for an unforgettable feast. Cassoulet is a French specialty. It\u2019s a rich, slow-cooked white bean casserole infused with bold smoked meat flavors. Our Haitian adaptation is cooked on the stovetop. We do not bake our cassoulet like the original French version. We also serve it alongside white rice. Please note that this recipe uses a pressure cooker for both the beans and pork feet so as to speed up the cooking process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"This Haitian-style cassoulet is warm, cozy and packed with wonderful flavors of salt-cured meats and smoked sausages."},"categories":[12,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-grains","category-recipes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Homemade Haitian-style cassoulet with a hint of wine | Tchakayiti<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This Haitian-style cassoulet is packed with flavors of homemade salt-cured pork feet, lardon and sausages.
