Mixed Bean Cassoulet
Ingredients
  • 3/4
    cup dry Great Northern beans
  • 3/4
    cup dry pinto beans
  • 1/2
    cup dry garbanzo beans
  • 1/2
    cup chopped celery
  • 1/2
    cup chopped onion
  • 1/2
    cup chopped carrot
  • 1
    tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 1/2
    cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4
    cup water
  • 2/3
    cup dried porcini mushrooms
  • 1/4
    cup bottled roasted red sweet peppers, chopped
  • 1/4
    cup oil-packed dried tomatoes, drained and snipped
  • 2
    tablespoons roasted garlic puree
  • 1
    bay leaf
  • 1/4
    teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 1/4
    teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
  • 1/4
    teaspoon black pepper
  • 2
    cups soft sourdough bread crumbs
  • 2
    tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1
    garlic, minced
Directions

1. Rinse beans. In a 4-quart Dutch oven combine beans and 8 cups water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. (Or, place beans in water in Dutch oven. Cover and let soak in a cool place for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.) Drain and rinse beans; set aside.

2. In the same Dutch oven cook the celery, onion, and carrot in hot oil over medium heat about 5 minutes or just until vegetables are tender. Add the drained beans, vegetable broth, the 1/4 cup water, and dried mushrooms. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.

3. Stir in the roasted red peppers, dried tomatoes, garlic puree, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, and black pepper. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 30 minutes more or until beans are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Discard bay leaf.

4. Transfer the bean mixture to a 2-quart casserole. In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, melted butter, and garlic. Sprinkle over bean mixture. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until bread crumbs are lightly toasted.
