Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Be sure to keep the soy-protein links frozen until ready to add to the cassoulet. They will thaw and cook without overcooking while the cassoulet cooks. If you have a veggie sausage that is not frozen, cut it into 1- to 2-inch chunks and add it during the last hour of cooking.
