In the south of France is the historical Languedoc region, home to vineyards, rolling mountains dotted with cliffs (and sheep), and one of the most comforting dishes in the world.

A cassoulet, traditionally made with white beans and some sort of sausage, is covered and cooked slowly so that all of the flavors meld together. It’s incredibly simple to make—after briefly sautéing the vegetables and cooking the beans, the oven does the rest of the work—but requires patience. The cook time can take up to four-and-a-half-hours.
