The characteristic of this baked rice timbale gratin is that it lacks ground meat. The rice timbale is cooked on the stovetop in plenty of water for a short time before moving to the oven.
A tasty first course loved by both children and adults that warms up and is enjoyed because the melted cheese slices make it quite desirable.
Even though there is no meat, it is tasty.
The essential ingredients are certainly rice, cheese, and tomato sauce.
However, those who wish can always add meat and ham to the rice timbale.
Oregano with its rather intense pleasant flavor is highly recommended.
You can also appreciate the magic of the oven that transforms the cheese into cream.
