Timbale De Chou Fleur 4 Recipes

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or pre-heat a gas or charcoal grill. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the eggplant slices with 1/3 cup olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the eggplant until tender and colored with grill marks, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta.
• Meanwhile, warm the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the beef and pork, and brown the meat, breaking it into bite-sized pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Add the Marsala and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the peas and marinara sauce and stir to combine. Add the cheeses, basil, and cooked pasta. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the springform pan with the grilled eggplant. Be sure that the slices overlap and hang over the edge of the pan. Fill the pan with the pasta mixture, pressing down to make sure the pan is filling up evenly. Fold the eggplant slices up over the top of the pasta and add a few more slices on top to completely enclose the timbale. Bake the timbale until warmed through and the cheese has melted, about 30 minutes. Let rest on the counter for 10 minutes to set. To serve, invert the timbale onto a serving plate and remove the springform pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese over the top. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Oil a 6-cup souffle mold. Roll 1/4 cups bread crumbs in it to coat the inner surface, knocking out excess crumbs.
• Cook the onions slowly in the 1 tbsp butter for about 10 minutes in a covered saucepan, not allowing them to color.
• Scrape the onions in to a 3 qt mixing bowl. Stir in the seasonings, cheese, and the 2/3 cups bread crumbs.
• Beat in the eggs.
• In a small saucepan, bring the cup of milk to a boil with the 4 tbsp butter.
• In a thin stream of droplets, beat in the hot milk and butter.
• Fold the cauliflower into the custard mixture.
• Turn the custard into the prepared mold and set mold in a pan of boiling water. Place in lower third of preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, regulating heat so water remains just below the simmer.
• Custard is done when a knife plunged through the center comes out clean.
• Remove mold from water and allow to settle for 5 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edge of the custard and reverse on a warm serving platter. Surround with choice of sauces (Sauce au Cari) and serve.
