Time 24m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 package (2 3/4 ounces) instant simmer-and-serve wild rice
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped broccoli
1 1/3 cups water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup spaghetti or marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Heat wild rice, broccoli, water, basil and salt to boiling in 2-quart saucepan, stirring occasionally to break up broccoli; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 6 to 7 minutes or until wild rice and broccoli are tender. Stir in cheeses until blended.
  • Meanwhile, heat spaghetti sauce in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until hot. Reduce heat to low; stir occasionally.
  • Spray 10-ounce custard cup with cooking spray. To form timbales, press 3/4 cup wild rice mixture into cup; turn upside down onto serving plate to unmold. Repeat with remaining mixture. Or spoon mixture onto serving plates instead of shaping into timbales.
  • Pour spaghetti sauce over timbales. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

These timbales were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would probably use less cheese next time.

I didn't have any wild rice, so I used brown rice instead. It worked out just fine.

I'm a vegetarian so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The timbales were still very flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my timbales didn't look anything like the pictures. They were also very dry.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my timbales didn't turn out at all. They were mushy and bland.

I'm not a big fan of wild rice, but I really enjoyed this dish. The broccoli and cheese sauce were a great complement to the rice.
