SPINACH AND MILLET TIMBALE WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Spinach and Millet Timbale With Tomato Sauce image

A timbale is a molded custard, somewhat similar to a quiche without a crust. It differs from a gratin because it is cooked at a lower heat in a water bath so the sides don't brown and stick to the baking dish, allowing you to unmold it. This one is delicious served with homemade marinara sauce (see recipe).

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 main dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 eggs
2 cups, tightly packed, blanched spinach* (about 10 ounces blanched; 1 1/2 pounds baby spinach or 3 pounds bunch, on the stem), finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, finely minced (optional)
1 cup cooked millet
3 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (3/4 cup)
2/3 cup 2 percent milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce

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.

SPINACH AND TOMATO SAUCE



Spinach and Tomato Sauce image

My mother in-law is an awesome cook and this was the first meal she made for me when my husband and I were dating. Since then anyone I have ever made this for raves about it and makes it themselves. My kids absolutely love it (they are 5 and 7) and the spinach doesn't scare them away. Even our black lab knows when it's being served for dinner and waits to lick the plates, although there is not much left at the end of this meal. .

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your timbale is flavorful and delicious.
  • Cook the millet properly: Millet should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked millet will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Season the timbale well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to give your timbale flavor. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach should be wilted but still retain its bright green color. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and brown.
  • Use a good quality tomato sauce: The tomato sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure to use a sauce that you enjoy. You can use a jarred sauce, or you can make your own.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives, will add a pop of color and flavor to your timbale.

Conclusion:

Spinach and millet timbale with tomato sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
