SPINACH, PEA AND RED PEPPER TIMBLAES
Steps:
- In a small skillet cook the bell pepper in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, remove the skillet from the heat, and let the mixture cool. In a food processor puree the spinach, the peas, and the chervil with the broth, the sugar, the black pepper and salt to taste. In a bowl combine well the puree, the bell pepper mixture, and the eggs and divide the mixture among 8 buttered 1/2 cup timbale molds.

The timblaes may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chulled. To reheat the timblaes unmold them into a glass baking dish large enough to just hold them, add about 2 tablespoons hot water to the dish, or enough to barely cover the the bottom, and reheat the timblaes, covered with foil, in a preheated 500°F oven for 15 minutes. Invert the timbales onto a platter.

SAUTEED SPINACH AND PEPPERS

SPINACH AND RED PEPPER FRITTATA
Spinach and red peppers bring vitamin A and vitamin C to this beautiful frittata. Spinach is also an excellent source of a long list of other nutrients, including vitamin K, manganese, folate and magnesium. And it's packed with protective phytonutrients, including the newly discovered glycoglycerolipids, which some researchers believe may help protect the digestive tract from inflammation.

Steps:
- Steam the spinach above an inch boiling water until just wilted, about two minutes; or wilt in a large frying pan with the water left on the leaves after washing. Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender, five to eight minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste, stir for about half a minute, and stir in the chopped spinach and the marjoram. Stir together for a few seconds, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, milk, spinach and red peppers. Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with a spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
- Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan, and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. The bottom should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
- Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, peas, and red peppers will give your timbales the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and flavorless.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a creamy goat cheese will add a lot of flavor to your timbales.
- Be careful not to overfill the ramekins: The timbales will rise as they bake, so don't fill the ramekins more than two-thirds full.
- Bake the timbales until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the timbales warm: Timbales are best served warm, but they can also be served at room temperature.

Spinach, pea, and red pepper timbales are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for a party or a potluck, and they can be made ahead of time. With their vibrant colors and flavors, these timbales are sure to impress your guests.
