This delicious, meat-free recipe gives a modern update to a French classic which the whole family can enjoy!
Slimming World's quick veggie cassoulet takes a meat (and fat) heavy dish, and turns it into something lighter, brighter - and much better for you! Quorn pieces are used instead of meat, and we recommend serving alongside some couscous, although brown rice or quinoa would both work too. The classic French cassoulet is normally made with a variety of meats and takes hours in the oven – but we know you don't always have enough time for that, that's why Slimming World’s version is not only much healthier but also can be on the table in just 30 minutes - perfect for after-school hungry mouths.
