Cassoulet is a traditional French slow-cooked stew or casserole. This lighter — but still luxe — lobster cassoulet recipe comes to us from David Penny, executive chef at The Great Estates of Niagara, which includes the Inniskillin, Jackson-Triggs, and Le Clos Jordanne wineries. You can easily leave out the lobster and use vegetable stock to make this a vegetarian meal. Serve it with some warm bread for a straightforward but sumptuous dinner.
