Carrotthymetimbales Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, sugar, salt, water and egg. Gradually mix in the flour.
• Dip a rosette iron into the batter, then into the hot oil. Fry until golden, and drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar before completely cool.

Steps:

• Butter 6 to 8 Pyrex custard cups or 8 to 10 small individual souffle dishes. Cut circles from parchment or waxed paper to fit into bottoms of cups. •Slice carrots into coins. (There should be about 4 cups/1 L.) Steam until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve a few carrot coins for garnish and puree remainder in food processor or blender. •Blend in butter, eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, ginger and cream; taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon mixture into paper-lined moulds and place moulds in large baking dish. Fill baking dish with boiling water to reach halfway up sides of moulds. Bake in 350° F (180° C) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until firm to touch (the smaller the moulds, the faster they will set). •Remove moulds from water bath and run knife around inside edge of moulds. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes, then invert onto large serving platter or individual plates. Remove paper circles. Garnish with carrot slices and parsley. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots, raisins, orange juice, honey, brown sugar, salt, and pepper; bring it to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until carrots are tender, about 25 minutes. Uncover, raise heat to high, and cook until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top before serving.

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:

• Preheat oven broiler. Cut peppers in half and remove seeds and membranes. Place, skin side up, on baking sheet under hot broiler, until skin blackens and blisters. Cool and peel away skin.
• Steam the carrots until they are soft. Drain.
• Wash watercress and put in sauce pan with just the water clinging to the leaves. Cover pan and steam watercress for 2 minutes. Drain, cool and squeeze dry with your hands.
• Puree each vegetable individually in food processor, adding a third of the cream to the carrots to make a smooth puree.
• Pour the pepper puree into a small sauce pan and stir over moderate heat until thickened.
• Put each puree into its own bowl to cool. Divide remaining cream between pepper and watercress purees.
• Butter 4 timbale molds. Preheat oven to 325°F
• Stir 2 egg yolks into each puree. Divide last yolk between watercress and pepper purees. Season each with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
• Divide carrot puree equally among timbale molds. Smooth the surface. Repeat with watercress puree. Smooth surface and repeat with pepper puree.
• Put the molds in a roasting pan and pour hot water around molds, about half-way up sides of molds.
• Bake 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• Remove molds from pan and cool slightly on wire rack.
• To serve, hold plate on top of each timbale and then turn it upside down. Give the plate and timbale a sharp shake and timbale should release itself.
• Serve warm with salad and baguette.
