Method

Prep 30 min · cook 210 min
  1. Soak the beans overnight. Drain, cover with fresh water and simmer for 1 hour, until just tender. Drain, keeping the liquid.
  2. Brown the sausages, the pork and the bacon in pieces in the oil in a large casserole, in batches. Slice the sausages.
  3. Soften the chopped onions, carrot and garlic in the same pot for 8 minutes, then add the tomatoes, thyme and bay leaf.
  4. Add the beans, the meats and the stock, with bean liquid if needed so everything is just covered. Season with pepper.
  5. Bake uncovered at 150 °C for 2 hours. Each time a crust forms, push it under; add a little bean liquid if it dries.
  6. Scatter the breadcrumbs on top for the last 30 minutes and let them brown. It keeps for 4 days and reheats well.
