- One of my favourite post christmas dishes and a great tray to use up the left overs of the various cooked meats. It takes a long time to cook a good cassoulet but it is really no trouble at all with an aga. Pre aga I contented myself with beany stews but they are nothing compared to the Real Thing. Soak the beans the day before you want to eat the cassoulet and cook them overnight.
