Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and Coat:
- Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly in the pan, tilting and rotating to ensure the crumbs stick to the sides and bottom.
- Cook the white rice according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves boiling it in water until tender. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- While the rice is cooking, cut the broccolini into small florets. Steam or blanch them for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, and ground nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
- Fold the cooked rice and broccolini into the ricotta mixture. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared springform pan. Spread it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the torte.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the torte is golden brown on top and set in the center.
- Once baked, remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully run a knife around the edge to loosen it, then release the springform pan.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Make sure to cook the rice beforehand, as it will not cook fully within the torte.
- For a crispier crust, toast the bread crumbs lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the dish.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese; mozzarella or cheddar could add a unique twist.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Allow the torte to cool slightly before slicing; this helps it hold its shape better.
This Rice & Broccolini Torte is a satisfying and flavorful dish that will impress your family and friends. The combination of creamy ricotta, savory parmesan, and fresh broccolini creates a delicious meal that's sure to become a favorite.
