A Simpler Variation on the Traditional French Cassoulet

This is an amazingly wonderful variation on the French cassoulet, but one that is little easier and less expensive than the traditional recipes, yet the aroma, flavor, and texture of this recipe is every bit as delightfully delicious as it is inexpensive.

Pulled Pork

Pulled pork definitely falls into the comfort food category. It has such a delightful texture and aroma. I like it on top of steamed rice served in a bowl and topped with spicy BBQ sauce.
