Call this dish the name you want, BUT NEVER EVER CALL THAT A CASSOULET !!

My friend sorry to be rude but you don't know the meaning of the world you are using

[gilbertboyd]

I assume you are from the Languedoc region of France which definitely would make you an expert,so my apologies.

I am just trying to make a non pork and mutton or non duck confit version for the vegetarians out there using some of the same flavor profiles.

hello, i went to a vegetarian restaurant and they had fish, beef, chicken etc... imitations. what is are they really made of? because i was so shocked, it looked just like beef, and just like regular seafood. what do you think they used as a beef substitute? or fish substitute? I recently start cooking tofu, and its really tricky!! well anyways you do have some nice dishes going on!!

[gilbertboyd]

First tofu can be pretty sturdy to differnt cooking methods,remember to use firm or extra firm,you can marinate it the night before in a sauce to add flavor.

The fake meat texture is basically a processed soy product,some are ok but others are questionable because of the way that it is produced

Question, does tempeh taste like tofu? And what about sage? Does that taste like thyme?

[gilbertboyd]

No it has a differnt flavor with a thicker slightly crunchy texture,try some it can't hurt. Sage and thyme have differnt flavors,you know I try to come up with a comparison flavor for both but it's hard so I would suggest buy both, then smell taste and cook with them.

Great video! Looks delicious. Also, thanks for the tips on how to cut the veggies. It is very helpful for those of us who are cullinarily challenged! :)

I hate to sound like a stick in the mud, but how far afield can you go and still call a dish "cassoulet?" Tempeh, pinto beans, chunks of carrots...about the only thing the dishes has in common are the bread crumbs! I'm going to think of this as "tempeh a l'gilbert boyd" instead.

[Mokambigai]

yes..tempeh is actually fermented soy beans i think...often used in asian dishes...

[wvoutlaw2002]

Are the flavorings used in flavored tempeh natural ingredients as opposed to crap such as MSG?

[guam29]

Being A French man ( from Lyon) working as a cook I can be very picky with terms. The all idea of cassoulet is fat ! That' s why you cannot use it with your dish. People get confused after that. It's like " Ragout " a lot of good chefs use it to describe a vegetables medley, this is again all wrong ! In order to make a ragout , this dish must included some meat !

I do appreciate your appologies.
