Step 1

On the day before, place the beans in a bowl and cover with plenty of water. Let soak for 8 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Once soaked, drain and rinse the beans and set them aside.

Step 3

Place the dehydrated sun-dried tomato halves in the hot water and leave to soak until softened.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients: chop the onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes and parsley.

Step 5

Once the sun-dried tomatoes are softened, chop them into small pieces.

Step 6

Set the pressure cooker to saute mode.

Step 7

Heat in 1 tablespoon of the oil and then add the onion, garlic and ginger. Saute for about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the carrots and saute for another minute.

Step 9

Cancel the saute mode.

Step 10

Add the soaked drained uncooked beans, parsley, sprigs of thyme, bay leaves, sun-dried tomatoes along with the soaking water, bouillon powder/cubes, cumin and water.

Step 11

Close the lid and place the valve in the closed position.

Step 12

Set the pressure cooker for 9 minutes at maximum pressure. (I usually use the beans/chilli setting and reduce the time to 9 minutes).

Step 13

Once the time is up, allow the pressure to go down naturally for 10 minutes. Release any remaining steam from the pressure and open the lid.

Step 14

While the beans are being cooked, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a skillet.

Step 15

Add in the sausages and cook while occasionally turning the sausages on all sides until they are done.

Step 16

Slice the sausages into bite-size chunks (if desired).

Step 17

Add the sausages to the cooker.

Step 18

Stir in the tomatoes. Place the regular (glass) lid on the cooker. Set the cooker to soup mode or manual cooking mode on medium temperature and simmer for about 7 - 10 minutes, then cancel any remaining time.

Step 19

(If you want the cassoulet to be a little soupy, add some water. Or if you want to reduce the sauce to a thicker consistency, simmer uncovered).

Step 20

Taste and adjust seasonings. Garnish with parsley and serve with bread, rice or a side salad.

Step 21

Heat a thick bottom pan or pot on medium temperature.

Step 22

Follow steps 2 - 3 and 5, as for the pressure cooker instructions.

Step 23

Cover the pot and simmer on medium heat for about 40 minutes or until the beans are soft.

Step 24

Occasionally stir and check the water level (add more water if needed).

Step 25

While the beans are cooking, prepare the sausages as per steps 9 - 11 above.

Step 26

Add the sausages and tomatoes to the pot, cover and simmer for another 7 - 10 minutes.

Step 27

Taste and adjust seasonings.
