Recipe of the Week

Broccoli Timbales

1 large bunch broccoli

4 tblsp. butter, softened

4 tblsp. creme fraiche

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 small onion, very finely chopped

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

Steam broccoli according to the master recipe.  Place in a food processor and pulse a few times until well chopped.  Add butter, cream, eggs and onion and blend well.  Season to taste. Pour into six well-buttered conical timbale molds.  Place in a pan of hot water and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Loosen timbales with a knife and turn onto a warmed platter or individual plates.

I found these very easy to make, but did have to adjust the cooking time a bit.  Just a little longer than the recipe calls seemed to be successful.  Also, if you don't have a food processor, a good blender should be fine.
