Summer Vegetable Cassoulet

August 26, 2021 By Betsy Price

 

Plate of food with cassoulet vegetable stewThis recipe for Summer Vegetable Cassoulet comes from Bon Appetit, and it’s the perfect combo for using fresh seasonal vegetables and Clay Coyote pottery! The cassoulet is a staple of French country cuisine. It’s a hearty stew of sausage, confit, pork, and beans that is slowly simmered for hours to produce a smooth and decadent dish. This recipe is a lighter seasonal version that highlights loads of vegetables with a crispy crumbly Gruyere topping. Try it in the Clay Coyote Dutch Oven or the Clay Coyote Cassole with Cassoulet Bowls for serving.

Ingredients:

1 lb. globe or Japanese eggplants, peeled and cut into 2″ pieces

1 tsp. fennel seeds

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 tsp. salt, plus more

Freshly ground black pepper

1 lb. haricots verts or green beans, trimmed

2 oil packed anchovy fillets

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

3/4 cup dry white wine

1 Tbsp. tomato paste

1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 15 oz. can butter or corona beans

2 cups coarsely chopped parsley

1/3 cup coarsely chopped marjoram or oregano

1 Tbsp. thyme leaves

6 oz. Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated

 

Preparation:

Step 1

Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 425°. Toss eggplant, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, 6 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a 3-qt. or 13×9″ baking dish; season with black pepper. Roast on bottom rack, tossing halfway through, until golden and tender, 25–30 minutes. Let cool.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Add haricots verts, season with salt, and cook, tossing every minute or so, until they start to release moisture and steam, about 5 minutes. Add anchovies, garlic, wine, and tomato paste and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to break up paste, 1 minute. Add ¾ cup water, cover pot, and cook until haricots verts are crisp-tender, 5–7 minutes.

Step 3

Add cherry tomatoes and butter beans, re-cover pot, and cook until tomatoes start to burst, 5–7 minutes. Remove pot from heat, uncover, and stir in parsley, marjoram, and thyme.

Step 4

While the beans and tomatoes are cooking, spread Gruyère out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake on top rack until melted and almost done bubbling and golden, 8–10 minutes (check often). Let cool.

Step 5

Using a slotted spoon, scoop tomato and bean mixture over and around eggplant in baking dish, arranging so everything is nestled together but eggplant isn’t completely covered. Pour liquid left in pot over. Remove crispy Gruyère from parchment and crumble on top of cassoulet.

Part 4 of 4: A Day in the Life of a Mini Savory Pie

May 21, 2021 By Betsy Price

~By Molly in the Gallery

The last (and let’s be honest, the best) part of the Mini Savory Pie series is dessert. I made a mixed berry pie using blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries and it was so simple and delicious.

To start, I measured out four cups of berries. I like to use frozen berries because they’re extra juicy once they are thawed. It’s also easier! Then I added 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

I mixed this around until everything was evenly coated, poured it into the mini savory pie, spread a pie crust over the top, added a little flair, and baked at 375 for 45 minutes.

 

Next time, I would mix everything directly in the mini savory to save washing an extra dish. And I’ve learned through using it multiple times now that it has a larger capacity than I expect.

This dessert was perfect for the start of summer, and takes minimal effort if you’re craving sweets but don’t have all day to bake.

After testing out the mini savory for four different types of recipes, this may just be my new favorite dish! From breakfast bakes, to the grill, to savory and sweet pies, this little workhorse is versatile and easy to use.

Part 3 of 4: A Day in the Life of a Mini Savory Pie

May 13, 2021 By Betsy Price

On the menu for dinner this week is a classic chicken pot pie. This was my favorite meal as a kid, and I still love it today. The mini savory pie dish is the ideal pot for this recipe, and makes the whole process quick and easy as you do all your sautéing and baking in one pot.

Mini Savory Pie

I started by melting butter in the pot over medium high heat, and added in chopped onions and some miscellaneous veggies that were in my freezer. This was a great way to use them all up!

Mini Savory PieOnce the veggies were all heated through, I added the chicken and continued cooking.

 

 

 

Next came some flour, chicken broth, and buttermilk to make a creamy roux. I also added some salt, pepper, and basil.

Mini Savory PieThe last step was to drape a pie crust over the top, and bake at 425* for 30-40 minutes. And voila! A creamy chicken pot pie.

Part 2 of 4: A Day in the Life of a Mini Savory Pie

May 7, 2021 By Betsy Price

As the weather (slowly) warms up here in Minnesota, we’ve started planning out our gardens and pulling out our grills. I’ve come to the conclusion that everything is better when it’s been grilled. Some of my favorite oddball grilled foods are romaine lettuce, peaches, and now gnocchi. This week, I decided to try grilling with my mini savory pie dish!

Chicken & Pesto Gnocchi

I wanted to experiment with adding that classic grill flavor to a pasta, and found that potato gnocchi is a great candidate. This grilled chicken and gnocchi with cherry tomatoes and pesto is fresh but filling. I added the gnocchi and tomatoes to my mini savory dish and tossed in some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Because the mini savory is made with flameware, it’s great for grilling a side dish!

 

Chicken & Pesto Gnocchi

Once the grill was at about 450*, the gnocchi went on, with the charcoal pushed over to one side so it was off the direct heat. This made room for the seasoned chicken to go next to it which cooked best directly over the coals. In total, the gnocchi and tomatoes were grilled for about 30 minutes. While it was cooking, I whipped up a fantastic pesto using this recipe. Once everything was finished, I tossed the tomatoes and gnocchi in the pesto and topped it with the grilled chicken.

Chicken & Pesto GnocchiThis is definitely a recipe I would make again. The pesto was bright and along with the tomatoes created a nice contrast to the deep grill flavor from the rest of the dish. The mini savory was the perfect size for our grill, allowing space for the meat to cook alongside it. It also held onto all the yummy juice from the tomatoes that burst while grilling.

If you’re looking for a great breakfast option in the mini savory, check out my first post in the mini savory series here, and be sure to check back for my post on a great dinner and dessert in the weeks to follow.
