Minted Green Pea Timbales Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Add peas to boiling water for 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peas and immediately transfer to ice water bath to stop cooking. Drain and transfer peas to a clean dish towel to dry. Finely chop peas and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Carefully add the eggs to the same pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to a low boil and let eggs cook 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. When eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them, then slice in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Finely chop egg yolks and add to bowl with peas.
• Stir in mayo, chopped mint and Dijon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Use two spoons or a piping bag to transfer mixture to cavities in egg whites. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Dissolve all but 1/4 teaspoon salt in large pot of boiling water. Add peas. Blanch 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Chill and drain thoroughly. Puree in blender or food processor the peas, mint, and sugar remaining salt and pepper until smooth. Continue to puree while adding egg whites 1 at a time. Pour in cream. Blend until combined.
• Divide mixture among 6 greased 1/2 cup ramekins or custard cups. Set ramekins in baking pan. Add boiling water to pan to halfway up sides of ramekins. Cover with foil and vent. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center pulls clean. Let set a few minutes. Run sharp knife around edges and invert onto serving dish. Garnish with mint sprig and dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche.

Steps:

• Beat the eggs slightly, just so the yolk and whites are mixed.
• Add the milk which has been mixed with the seasonings.
• Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Mix well.
• Pour into greased timbales mold or muffin cups.
• Bake at 300 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until firm.
• Serve with tomato sauce, sweet corn, red sweet peppers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare 1 batch of corn custard and set aside. Dry roast all the vegetable rounds until wrinkly, but not too brown. Let cool. Meanwhile, spray 8 souffle dishes with pan coating. Line the edges of the dishes with the leeks horizontally. Arrange 3 to 4 carrot rounds on the bottom of each dish making a "flower." Follow layers in this order: zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, yellow squash, and red peppers. Place the rounds in concentric circles fully covering the previous layer.
• Ladle the corn custard over the entire timbale. Once the custard is up to the lip, cover with spinach leaves. Press the leaves lightly into the custard to coat.
• Cover with foil and bake until the custards reach a temperature of 150 degrees F.
• Put corn in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, just enough to blend and add to the corn. Add the remaining ingredients and blend. Pour over timbales and bake.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until just tender. Drain the peas and transfer them to a large bowl. Add the oil and vinegar, and toss to thoroughly coat the peas. Set them aside to cool to room temperature. When you are ready to serve the salad, gently stir in the bell peppers, red onion, scallions, basil, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.;

Steps:

• Combine wine, oil, thyme, onion and garlic. Marinate steaks 30 minutes in baking dish. May refrigerate up to 1 day, bring to room temperature a 1/2 hour before cooking. Place steak in roasting pan, add onions and season to taste. Roast in a preheated 425 degree oven for 20 minutes. Reduce somewhat for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Remove steaks and onions from pan and tent with foil. Save pan and meat juices.
• For the Sauce Forestiere: In small skillet, cook bacon lardons on high until crisp and brown. Remove from pan. Drain all but 2 tablespoons fat. Use fat to cook mushrooms 3 to 5 minutes, stirring gently. Add to bacon. Meanwhile, bring wine, thyme and bay to boil and reduce to about 2 tablespoons.
• Set roasting pan over medium-high burner. Pour in beef stock; mix with cooking scraps. Bring to boil and simmer 3 minutes to begin to thicken. Stir in wine glaze, butter, bacon, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Heat and remove bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Slice filets on the bias, sauce and garnish with onions. Serve with Chateau Potatoes, Creamed Carrots and Minted Green Pea Timbales (separate recipes).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the peas and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, put them into a food processor and pulse until chunky. Add the ricotta and pulse to combine. While the processor is running, pour in the oil in a slow steady stream. Transfer the puree to a serving bowl, then stir in the mint and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Arrange the bread on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with some garlic infused olive oil. Toast in the oven until light golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Spread the pea puree over the toasts and serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat and sizzle the shallot for 5 mins until soft. Add the stock and peas, and bring to a simmer. Cook gently for 10 mins until the peas are soft.
• Roughly mash the pea mixture with a potato masher, or, if you prefer a smoother texture, purée with a hand blender. (It's best to leave some of the peas whole or roughly crushed for texture.) Season to taste and stir through the mint leaves just before serving.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Add 2 thinly sliced scallions (below); cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2 minutes.
• Add 3 packages (10 ounces each) thawed frozen peas, 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until peas are tender and heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint, 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons butter; swirl pan until butter is creamy, 1 minute more.
