Time 1h30m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
6 -7 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 large fennel bulb, trimmed, quartered, cored and sliced crosswise
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lb summer squash, cubed (about 2 medium zucchini or 3 yellow squash)
1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes (or 1 large tomato, chopped)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup grated asiago cheese, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Make the crust. Place the flours, salt and basil or thyme in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to blend. Add chunks of butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add water and blend until mixture forms a ball. Divide into 2 balls, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onion, fennel and garlic. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables begin to release their juices, then cover and cook for 5 minutes, until fennel is tender.
  • Uncover, add the squash and tomatoes and increase heat to medium high. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the wine and cook until almost all the liquid is evaporated. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup cheese and the oregano.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll out 1 dough disc between 2 sheets of wax paper into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. Trim the edges with a knife, but don't get too particular - it doesn't have to be a perfect circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Heap half the filling to the center of the dough, then spread evenly to within 1 1/2 inches of the edge. Fold the crust up over the edge of the filling, pinching every inch or 2 to hold the dough in place. Sprinkle the exposed filling with half the remaining grated cheese.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough, filling and cheese. Bake until the crust is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool at least 10 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SAVORY SUMMER SQUASH WITH BACON



Savory Summer Squash with Bacon image

I love squash but wanted a new recipe with fewer calories. I did a search on flavorful ingredients and came up with a bunch of pasta recipes. So I thought, why not substitute yellow squash for pasta? And it worked! All the ingredients can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to cook. Long, slender young squash make for the best texture.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 pounds yellow squash, cut into bite-size pieces
4 pickled artichoke hearts, chopped
2 tablespoons capers with liquid, or more to taste
½ teaspoon crushed fresh rosemary leaves
salt to taste
ground white pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place 2 paper towels on a microwave-safe plate; add bacon and top with another paper towel. Cook in microwave on high until some grease is absorbed, about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer bacon to a deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Lower heat to medium; stir garlic into bacon and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is slightly translucent and still firm, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix squash into onion-bacon mixture; cook and stir until squash is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add artichoke hearts; cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add capers and rosemary; cover skillet and cook, stirring often, until squash is softened but firm to the bite, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.

Tips:

  • For the flakiest crust, use a combination of butter and vegetable shortening.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and work quickly to prevent the dough from becoming tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to overwork the dough.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the vegetables into thin slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the galette with vegetables, or the crust will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
  • Let the galette cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Summer squash and bacon galette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet summer squash, salty bacon, and flaky crust is sure to please everyone at the table. This galette can be served as a main course or as a side dish.
