Split up some of the steps in this multi-step French stew/casserole. The result? Blissful comfort food and a clever way to reduce and spread out the effort. Blend roasted chicken and seared sausage with creamy white beans and all the aromatics that get braised together in a hot oven.
Braising, the act of cooking meat and/or vegetables by heating them slowly with oil and moisture in a tightly sealed vessel, is a rare culinary approach in our busy world. But set aside an afternoon to let your heaviest pot and your oven create the fall off the bone tenderest short ribs you've ever had.
