    A Love Letter to Cassoulet Beans

    There are dishes that make you fall in love at first bite, and then there are dishes that inspire proposals. This recipe belongs firmly in the latter category. Marry Me Beans takes the viral sensation of Marry Me Chicken and reimagines it as a vegetarian showstopper that puts heirloom cassoulet beans front and center where they belong.

    Why Cassoulet Beans Are Worth Saying "I Do" To

    Cassoulet beans aren't your average grocery store legumes. These creamy, buttery heirloom beauties have been the backbone of French comfort food for centuries, traditionally slow-cooked in the legendary cassoulet of southwestern France. Because you've invested in these gourmet beans, you want to treat them right—and that starts with building flavor from the moment they hit the pot.

    Unlike their mass-produced cousins, cassoulet beans have a naturally rich, almost meaty flavor that develops into pure velvet when properly cooked. They're substantial enough to stand up to bold flavors while being tender enough to melt in your mouth. In this recipe, we're infusing the beans as they cook with aromatics that will create layers of flavor throughout the dish, making every bite an experience worth remembering.

    Cannulah "Cassoulet" (organic) - The Foodocracy

    Better Soil Makes Better Beans

    Not all cassoulet beans are created equal, and the difference starts in the soil. Our Cannulah™ cassoulet beans are grown on a certified regenerative organic family farm where healthier soil produces more nutritious, flavorful beans while actively healing the planet. Unlike conventional farming that depletes the earth, regenerative practices build soil health, sequester carbon, and support biodiversity—meaning every pot of beans you cook is a vote for a better food system. These beans are planted harmoniously with sunflowers in a living trellis system, just like traditional French methods, creating a thriving ecosystem rather than a monoculture. The Classic Flat White™ project began with a dinner in France where a farmer and bean breeder became enchanted with sublime white beans cooked to perfection, dedicating years to breeding the exact same seed to thrive organically in the US. The result is a bean that's not only better for you and the environment, but also incredibly fresh—cooking faster than most dried cassoulet beans you'll find while maintaining that signature large shape and extraordinary ability to soak up flavor. When you choose regeneratively grown beans, you're getting superior taste and texture while supporting farming practices that leave the soil richer than they found it.

    The Secret: Flavor From the Ground Up

    The magic of this recipe lies in treating the bean cooking liquid like liquid gold. By simmering the beans with bay leaves, garlic, thyme, and rosemary, we're creating an aromatic stock that becomes part of the final sauce. This isn't just about cooking beans—it's about building a foundation of flavor that elevates the entire dish.

    When that herb-infused cooking liquid combines with sun-dried tomatoes, cream, white wine, and Parmesan, you get a sauce so seductive it might actually inspire a marriage proposal. Or at the very least, requests for the recipe.
