After seeing Lisa make this cassoulet on the show, it looked so delicious that I had to make it the next day. It became immediately evident that something is off with this recipe. I honestly don't think this is the same recipe that she presented to the judges, and I can't fathom that this is the best cassoulet that Bobby Flay has ever tasted, as he stated on the show. There are several thing wrong here: 1 The duck confit was missing from the recipe printed here. I can actually understand that being left out of the web version because most home cooks don't have access to it, or even know what it is for that matter. 2 There is way too much liquid for two cans of beans- The result was beans swimming in broth. There should be half this much broth used. 3 There is way too much oil (1/2 cup in the recipe. There should probably only be about 2 tablespoons. 4 There is also way too much herbs abd garlic. The herb and garlic completely overpowered the dish. However, one positive note is that the spinach pesto and crostini were very good and I will be making them along with my own cassoulet recipe. I honestly don't think that this is the same recipe that Lisa used, or something went majorly wrong when the recipe was being scaled down. Beware.
