About the dish

Small timbales of meat forcemeat with a pattern of cooked root vegetables along the mold, a decorated party dish from the chapter on meat forcemeat in "Stor kokebok" (1914).

How to make it

  1. 1

    Grease the molds

    Grease small timbale molds well with cold butter.

  2. 2

    Decorate the molds

    Cut out small round slices, stars, or half-moons from the cooked yellow and white roots. Line the molds on the inside with these, alternating.

  3. 3

    Fill with forcemeat

    Spread the meat forcemeat carefully over the vegetables so the pattern is not displaced. Fill the center with asparagus, small green beans, or cauliflower, and finally cover with a layer of forcemeat.

  4. 4

    Cook in a water bath

    Place the molds in a water bath and let them cook 15–20 minutes until the forcemeat is firm.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Turn the timbales out onto a platter, garnish with tomato slices sprinkled with finely chopped parsley, and pour tomato sauce over.

Changes from the original

Quantities that were unclear in the OCR text have been set to Erken's most common amounts (½ kg forcemeat, ¼ kg tomatoes). Units have been modernized to grams and deciliters, and "cooked in a water bath" has been described as a water bath in the oven or on the stovetop.
