In Sicily we call it timbale of baked rice, (sartù di riso) and has a summer version (with Eggplant and tomato sauce easy) and a winter (with meat sauce). In the municipality there are always provolone, peas, boiled eggs and grated cheese. What I present to you today is the winter version, that is the same as that in Campania called sartù di riso. Is’ rich as the TIMBALE anelletti TO PALERMITANA, which also has a version WINTER AT RAGU'. And a version invented by me with EGGPLANT AND MEATBALLS.
My family recipe for baked rice timballo
The timbale of rice baked dish is outstanding, one of the many Sunday dishes for family lunch with cousins, grandparents and everyone that the traditional ' extended family’ Sicily plan (that is, at least 15 people at the table) and hiding under the burnished crust stuffed rice rich: you can do it with meat sauce or with meatballs and, in both cases, is irresistible. The outer crust is crisp and browned breadcrumbs thanks to which is sprinkled the pan, and so the timbale of rice as well as having a crunchy crust transforms perfectly although freshly baked.
In this recipe, I added a personal variation: a simple tomato sauce which makes the timbale of rice more moist and delicious baked, which of course you can not put. The only difficulty in this recipe is to keep the rice: a rice timbale scotto you can't quite forgive. Then, I recommend, be strict in respect of the time of cooking rice, otherwise the frustration of all the work done. Take a look at all my SICILIAN RECIPES and, if you are a rice lovers like me, all my RECIPES FOR RICE AND RICE. Have a good day.

Hello, that mouth watering… but I must resist because I would like to prepare it for Sunday, but in the ingredients it says twice: 150 grams Minced pork. Should I use 300 gr.? or 150? Thank you very much :)

Hi Ada I discovered your blog thanks to recipe for Chickpea and shrimp ( fabulous) and it is a pleasure to read you. I would like to prepare the pie but I did not understand what happens to the sauce if you are in the refrigerator… Forgive the joke I guess added to cheese and eggs is correct ? I await with trepidation the recipe for summer version.
A warm greeting
Hello Gio, Thank you for your appreciation. The meat sauce, When it is cold, is mixed with rice for season. Should be cool because, combining hot, you would raise the temperature of the rice and continue to Cook. And so you risk getting a timbale scotto. then pour half rice in pan, the cover with cheese boiled peas, complete with the rest of the rice and fire. then pour half rice seasoned with meat sauce into the Pan, the cover with cheese boiled peas, complete with the rest of the rice and fire. Let me know. A warm greeting, ADA
