Identity-crisis Cassoulet

I would usually call this dish a tuscan bean stew but having read "Sausage in a Basket" by Martin Lampen (see previous post) and his scathing critiscm of things "Mediterranean-Style" i.e. drowned in a tomato based sauce with some capsicum and olives thrown in . Also, he quite correctly points out the mediterranean is a huge area with widely varied cultures! As a homage to this I am renaming my dish Identity Crisis Cassoulet: Cassoulet=French, chorizo=Spanish/Portugese, Cannellini beans=Italian, and with chunks of bacon, tomato and onion.

I served it on some soft polenta and downed some wine with it. YUM!
