EGGPLANT TIMBALE

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or pre-heat a gas or charcoal grill. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the eggplant slices with 1/3 cup olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the eggplant until tender and colored with grill marks, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta.
• Meanwhile, warm the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the beef and pork, and brown the meat, breaking it into bite-sized pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Add the Marsala and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the peas and marinara sauce and stir to combine. Add the cheeses, basil, and cooked pasta. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the springform pan with the grilled eggplant. Be sure that the slices overlap and hang over the edge of the pan. Fill the pan with the pasta mixture, pressing down to make sure the pan is filling up evenly. Fold the eggplant slices up over the top of the pasta and add a few more slices on top to completely enclose the timbale. Bake the timbale until warmed through and the cheese has melted, about 30 minutes. Let rest on the counter for 10 minutes to set. To serve, invert the timbale onto a serving plate and remove the springform pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese over the top. Slice and serve.

VEGETABLE TIMBALES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare 1 batch of corn custard and set aside. Dry roast all the vegetable rounds until wrinkly, but not too brown. Let cool. Meanwhile, spray 8 souffle dishes with pan coating. Line the edges of the dishes with the leeks horizontally. Arrange 3 to 4 carrot rounds on the bottom of each dish making a "flower." Follow layers in this order: zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, yellow squash, and red peppers. Place the rounds in concentric circles fully covering the previous layer.
• Ladle the corn custard over the entire timbale. Once the custard is up to the lip, cover with spinach leaves. Press the leaves lightly into the custard to coat.
• Cover with foil and bake until the custards reach a temperature of 150 degrees F.
• Put corn in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, just enough to blend and add to the corn. Add the remaining ingredients and blend. Pour over timbales and bake.

SWEET POTATO BALLS

Steps:

• Steam the sweet potato in a steamer over a medium heat for 15-20 mins until soft enough to insert a cutlery knife into. Mash the sweet potato using a potato masher or a fork until smooth. Add the sugar, tapioca starch and a good pinch of seasoning, then mix well with your hands. Gradually pour in 1-2 tbsp water, then mix well until a pliable dough forms.
• Divide the dough into four and roll each piece into a long sausage shape around 2cm in diameter. Cut each length of dough into 2cm pieces and roll them into balls in the palm of your hand. Don't worry if they crumble, just keep squishing them until they form a ball.
• Half-fill a large, heavy-based saucepan with the oil. Heat over a medium temperature until a cooking thermometer reads 120C. Lower batches of the balls into the oil (you may need to cook them in two or three batches) and fry for 2 mins until they begin to float. When they are floating, turn down the heat slightly. Turn the balls in the oil using a slotted spoon until they expand in size, doing so every minute, for around 3-4 mins. Turn the heat back up and continue to deep-fry until golden brown.
• Transfer the balls onto kitchen paper using a slotted spoon. Leave to drain and cool a little, then serve.
