    Preparing the Beans

    Soak the Ayers Creek Tarbaise beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, leeks, carrots, celery, and parsnips. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until soft.

    Add the sliced forest mushrooms and soaked beans to the pot. Stir in the vegetable broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmering

    Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender.

  5. 5

    Preparing the Herb Crust

    In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Baking

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the cassoulet mixture to a baking dish and top with the herb crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
