Timbale

Timbale (Italian Eggplant Pie)

Not as hard to make as it looks.  The meaty filling makes for a hearty meal wrapped in grilled eggplant.  Don't be afraid of the eggplant! One of the only things my husband won't eat (or should I say wouldn't eat) is eggplant.  Even he enjoyed the meal and said that the eggplant was cooked in a way that made it totally edible.  I would make sure to grill some extra eggplant slices because I found myself not having enough to wrap up the "pie".  Also if you like to spice things up a bit, you could try a hot sausage instead of mild.  The smoked mozzarella adds an interesting element to the filling by creating a smoky grilled flavor (you could always substitute regular mozzarella, if desired).

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
