The recipe
Ingredients
Contains: wheat (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point. The book gives no cooking times either; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.
Heat the vegetables.
Remove from heat and drizzle with a little melted glaze.
Pour the vegetables into the hollow of a timbale.
Quickly cover with a layer of the same pastry dough.
Make a small hole in the center and bake for 40 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
Remove the timbale from the oven and invert it onto a plate.
Surround it in the center, a few centimeters from the edges; remove the cover, and cover the truffles with the reduced sauce.
Cover and serve immediately.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
