Pork And Lentil Cassoulet

This variation on cassoulet uses lentils instead of the traditional white beans. In place of pork, you may substitute beef bottom round. *edit*i have had a problem with the lentil's cooking well in the crock pot. I suggest that you pre-soak them for an hour prior to adding them to the crock pot and cook on high and allowing for an extra 1/2 hours cooking time if it's needed.

Steps

Trim fat from pork and cut meat into 3 / 4-inch cubes.
In a large nonstick skillet brown pork , onion , and garlic in hot oil.
Transfer mixture to a 3-1 / 2- to 4-quart electric crockery cooker , add water , undrained tomatoes , carrots or parsnips , celery , lentils , rosemary , bouillon granules , salt , and pepper.
Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 4-1 / 2 to 5-1 / 2 hours.
Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig , if desired.
Make-ahead.
Cover and chill until ready to assemble in crockery cooker.
