Spinach And Millet Timbale With Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Butter a 2-quart soufflé dish or 6 1-cup ramekins, making sure to butter the bottoms generously, and place them in a baking pan that is deep enough so that you can fill it with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the mold or ramekins.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients (I usually season with 3/4 to 1 teaspoon of kosher salt). Scrape into the molds, filling them a little more than halfway full.
• Add boiling water to the baking pan, enough to come halfway up the sides of the molds. Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, then lower the heat to 325 degrees. Bake small molds for another 40 minutes, or until set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Large timbales will take between 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Make sure the water bath does not boil.
• Remove the timbales from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes while you heat the tomato sauce.
• Spoon about 3 to 4 tablespoons of tomato sauce onto each plate if you made individual timbales. Run a knife around the edges of the ramekins and unmold onto the plates. If serving 1 large timbale unmold onto a platter and cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium-low to medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and melt into the oil. When the butter bubbles add the garlic and onions, and season with salt and a little pepper. Cover and cook to soften, stirring occasionally until the onions are very soft and sweet, about 15 minutes, but not brown. Add the stock and tomatoes to the pot, breaking up the tomatoes with a potato masher or wooden spoon. Add several leaves of basil, torn. Gently simmer to thicken, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta, cook to al dente and reserve 1 cup starchy cooking water. Drain the pasta, add back to the pot but keep off the heat. Toss the pasta with the water, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, half the sauce and some cheese. Serve in shallow bowls topped with more sauce, and pass the cheese at table.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the spinach, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring for 3 or 4 minutes. Remove spinach from skillet, drain and keep warm.
• In the same skillet, add one tablespoon of butter and the leeks, and cook over high heat, stirring, until the leeks are wilted.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan, and salt and pepper to taste. Return the spinach to the skillet, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Adjust seasonings, set aside and keep warm.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream and nutmeg, and beat well with a whisk.
• Grease four aluminum molds ( 1/3-cup capacity) with the remaining butter. Distribute the leak, spinach and mushroom mixture evenly in the molds. Place them in a deep skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the molds. Add warm water around the molds to about 1/2-inch depth; then, cover them with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm. To serve, unmold onto the plates holding the roast duck.

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 180 C (350 F).
• Melt the butter in a pan, saute the onion and cook until soft but not brown.
• Add the spinach and cook for a further 5 minutes until soft, stirring once or twice.
• Add the milk and cream and heat gently without boiling.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, take the spinach mixture off the heat and add the eggs, cheese, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Transfer the mixture to a greased 1.1 litre (2 pint) ring mould (Bundt tin) and cover the mould with foil.
• Place the ring mould in a roasting dish that is half filled with hot water.
• Bake at 180 C (350 F) for 1 1/4 hours until it is firm to the touch and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Turn the Timbale out onto a flat serving dish and garnish with slices of tomato.
