I’m curious to know why 4 cups of water are called for in step 4, adding 2 cups of water and then 2 cups of boiling water. Water isn’t even listed in the ingredients. Is this a mistake? Other recipes for estouffat that I’ve looked at call for very little liquid in this “smothered” preparation. We used about 2 cups of stock in addition to the tomatoes, and it was more than sufficient.
Used the duck fat option instead of salt pork. After par cooking the sausage, removed the casing and crumbled the sausage into the dish. Used less water than indicated, as suggested by the other reviewer. Before serving, added sautéed bread crumbs on top as if it were cassoulet. Easy and delicious.
