Cassoulet with White Beans and Garlic Breadcrumbs

A cassoulet is a French bean stew that's typically filled with pork sausage and high-fat braised meats. This vegan version is much lighter than its traditional counterpart, providing about 530 calories, 27g of protein, and a whopping 20g of fiber.

Ingredients 
For the garlic breadcrumbs:
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup vegan breadcrumbs
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
Pinch each of salt and pepper
For the casserole:
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch each of salt and pepper
1 ½ cups of thinly sliced onions
2 zucchini, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried herbs de Provence
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs of thyme, leaves only
1 (14.5-oz) can of diced tomatoes
Pinch each of salt and pepper
2 (19-oz) cans of white beans (Cannellini, Navy or Great Northern), drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 cup baby spinach leaves, finely chopped
For the polenta:
4 cups water
1 cup polenta or yellow cornmeal
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
How to make it 

Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the breadcrumbs and garlic, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir until combined and crumbly, mix with the parsley, and then set aside.

Return the pot to the low heat, add in a teaspoon of oil and then add in the onions. Sauté over low heat until caramelized and golden, about 20-25 minutes. Add in the zucchini and cook 2 minutes, until lightly golden. Add in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add in the herbs, bay leaf, thyme, and the tomatoes with their juice, and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add in the white beans and balsamic, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

Meanwhile, bring the polenta water to a boil in a small saucepot. While whisking gently, pour in the polenta in a steady stream, and whisk until thickened. Reduce the heat to low for about 30 minutes, whisking very hard every 5-10 minutes to make sure you get all the bits off the corners and bottom of the pan. Add in the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5 minutes before you’re ready to serve, stir the spinach leaves into the cassoulet until wilted. Then divide the polenta between four bowls, top with the bean cassoulet and a generous sprinkling of garlic breadcrumbs.
