Traditionally, cassoulet is a labor of love (and anywhere from 12 hours to 3 days of your life). Ours? It’s a 45-minute miracle packed with crispy chicken thighs, smoky sausage, and a secret weapon straight from your spice drawer: Smoked Chipotle Herbs de Provence. 


Spiceology CMO Eric Anderson walks you through his Never Boring Dinner - a cozy, no-fuss cassoulet with a smoky Southwest-inspired kick (thanks to our Smoked Chipotle Herbs de Provence). It’s herby. It’s hearty. It’s lick-the-plate good (we don’t judge). Watch the recipe video below!
