Chicken Cassoulet with Fennel and Bacon There are few recipes that are better suited for warming you up on a cold night than cassoulet, a slow-cooked casserole from southwestern France traditionally made with beans, duck, and pork. My version is much lighter but just as satisfying. Fresh herbs, bacon, and a Parmesan bread crumb topping lend loads of flavor.

Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes Make-Ahead: The cassoulet can be assembled (unbaked) without the bread crumb topping up to 4 hours ahead, cooled, covered, and refrigerated. Sprinkle the bread crumb topping over the cassoulet just before baking and allow a bit more baking time for the cooled cassoulet. Ingredients 4 slices bacon, coarsely chopped 8 chicken drumsticks (about 150g each) 1 brown onion, finely chopped 1 fennel bulb, trimmed, cut into 1cm pieces 1 carrot, cut into 1cm pieces 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemar.
