Spinach Timbale
This is the first time I come across this name ‘Spinach Timbale’ from a cookbook ~ Natural Gourmet’s Kitchen. I’m not sure of the origin of this ‘Spinach Timbale’ but after googling for a while learn that ‘Timbale’ is a cooked dish that is baked and then turned out of it’s baking dish to make for more spectacular servings and some said it’s also prepared into individual ramekins. Anyway, if you’re my regular reader, you must have know that I usually like to go for quick and easy recipes. Since I have all the ingredients on hand, I went ahead to prepare this dish as an afternoon snack as I was quite curious about the taste. It didn’t disappoint me at all when the finished product came out of the oven. This ‘Spinach Timbale’ tasted rich and soft like a custard, and moreover both the spinach and carrot are my favourite and versatile vegetable ingredients. Perhaps next time I’ll add some cheddar cheese to go with it. Hope you enjoy this post and have a wonderful ahead!
