This simplified take on the French classic delivers deep, savory flavors without the multi-day preparation usually required. Tender chunks of pork shoulder and savory garlic sausage simmer with white beans before finishing in the oven with a golden breadcrumb crust.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season pork cubes with salt and pepper, then brown them on all sides. Remove pork and set aside.
In the same pot, add the sliced sausage and cook until browned. Remove and set aside with the pork.
Add the onion and carrots to the pot, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, and bay leaves.
Return the pork and sausage to the pot. Add the drained beans and pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the lid and sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Return to the oven uncovered and bake for another 20-30 minutes until the liquid has reduced slightly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove bay leaves before serving hot.
