This gorgeous cassoulet warms the very cockles of your heart and will bring a warm smile to all the family’s faces. Perfect for a midweek supper, you can use either our Mild Chilli Roasted Pumpkin & Sunflower Seeds or our Tamari Mega Omega 7 Seed mix – either bring fabulous crunch and texture to the dish with an extra oomph of spice and flavour.

We sometimes ignore the amazing convenience and nutrition to be found in a tin of legumes (or beans). A great source of fibre (read our blog on fibre here) and a really healthy way of keeping full.
