I'm a sucker for cassoulet. I first had it at a bistro in Paris, and I am hooked. When I saw this recipe on Men's Health I got very excited. Could I make a delicious cassoulet at home that was quick AND healthy? Was it possible?
The short answer is yes. The recipe makes a large amount of cassoulet that is quick, tasty, filling, and healthy. There are a few modifications to make to the recipe, however, to really make it shine.
1 - The dish is great on its own, but the title calls it spicy. You really do need to use spicy sausage to actually make it spicy
2 - Remove the sausage before adding the orzo and garlic. Add the sausage back at the next step
3 - If you prefer a thicker-style cassoulet, use 1 cup of water instead of 1.5
4 - Crushed tomatoes would work better. If you do use stewed, break them up before adding
Following these substitutions, I think this dish will be fantastic. Enjoy!
