Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
½ teaspoon fine salt
½ cup frozen unsalted butter, cubed
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ice water
1 (8 ounce) package soft goat cheese
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sliced fresh basil
3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons water
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as desired
sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and frozen butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add vinegar and ice water and pulse again until mixture comes together in clumps, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Wrap dough up in plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Combine goat cheese, egg yolk, kosher salt, pepper, cayenne, and basil in a bowl. Mix using a spatula until smooth and soft.
  • Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle top with flour. Roll out into 1/8-inch-thick circle, about 13 inches in diameter. Roll dough over the rolling pin and transfer onto a 12-inch pizza pan; refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Mix tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and Dijon mustard together in a bowl.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the dough and spread evenly, leaving about 1 1/2-inch space on the sides. Place tomato mixture on top of cheese using a slotted spoon. Fold excess dough up and over tomatoes, creating a pleat every 3 inches or so by gently pressing and folding.
  • Combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl; brush over crust. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over galette.
  • Place a foil-lined pan on the rack under galette to catch any possible drips. Bake in the preheated oven until well browned on bottom and top, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining olive oil and sea salt. Serve room temperature or chilled.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 3h

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 cocktail tomatoes (about 12 ounces total), halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour, and more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
1 stick cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus 2 tablespoons
1 1/2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated (1/2 cup lightly packed)
2 1/2 ounces Gruyère, shredded (1 1/4 cups)
3 to 5 tablespoons ice-cold water
1 clove garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
3/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears)
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch rounds (1 1/3 cups)
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange tomatoes, cut-sides up, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt. Roast until tomatoes shrink and collapse slightly, about 1 hour. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, pulse 1 3/4 cups flour, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until combined. Add cubed butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and 1/2 cup Gruyère; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Drizzle 3 tablespoons ice-cold water evenly over mixture; pulse until it holds together when pressed between your fingers. (Dough should not be wet or sticky; if too dry, pulse in more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Add garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour; cook until nutty and golden, about 2 minutes more. Add milk, return to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining 3/4 cup Gruyère and mustard; whisk until smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured sheet of parchment, roll out dough to a 14-inch round. Spread cheese sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Scatter half of corn evenly over sauce, then scatter zucchini evenly over corn. Top with roasted tomatoes, cut-sides up, and sprinkle with remaining corn. Season with flaky salt and pepper. Fold edges of dough up over vegetables, then brush dough with beaten egg. Transfer galette on parchment to a baking sheet.
  • Bake until crust is golden brown and set on bottom, and vegetables are tender and golden brown in places, 1 hour, 10 minutes to 1 hour, 20 minutes (if crust is browning too quickly, tent with foil). Transfer on parchment to a wire rack. Let cool until warm but no longer hot (about 30 minutes), or completely, before slicing and serving.

BURST TOMATO GALETTE WITH CORN AND ZUCCHINI



Burst Tomato Galette with Corn and Zucchini image

Provided by Deb Perelman : Smitten Kitchen : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups (160 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for the counter
1/4 teaspoon table salt
8 tablespoons (4 ounces or 113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled again
1/4 cup (60 grams) plain yogurt or sour cream
2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
3 cups (about 450 grams) cherry or grape tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher or sea salt
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
1 small (8 ounces or 225 grams) zucchini or summer squash, diced
1 ear corn, kernels cut from the cob (about 1 cup)
1 bundle (3 to 4 ounces or 85 to 115 grams) scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (2 ounces or 55 grams) grated Parmesan
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for the glaze

Steps:

  • For the pastry: Whisk-stir the flour and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle bits of the butter over the dough and, using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with the biggest pieces of butter the size of tiny peas. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice and about 1/4 cup water and add this to the butter-flour mixture. With your fingertips or a wooden spoon, mix in the liquid until large lumps form. Pat the lumps into a ball. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
  • For the filling: Get down the saute pan with the lid. If you don't have one, any large lid will do. Add the olive oil, tomatoes, salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if that's your thing) to your saute pan, then cover and heat over high heat. Roll the tomatoes around from time to time so that they'll cook evenly. In a few minutes, you'll hear some putts and pops as the tomatoes burst a little. When most have, remove the lid, turn the heat down to medium and add the zucchini chunks. Saute until they soften, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and cook 1 minute. Add the scallions, just stirring them in, then turn off the heat. Adjust the seasonings if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large plate and spread it out so that it will cool faster. (You want it cooled to at least lukewarm before assembling the galette.)
  • Assemble the galette: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • On a floured counter, roll the dough out into a 12-inch round (it really doesn't need to be perfectly shaped). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; I like to fold my dough gently, without creasing, in quarters, then unfold it onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tomato-zucchini-corn mixture with half of the Parmesan and spoon the mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. If any liquid has puddled in the plate, try to leave it there as you spoon. Sprinkle with almost all of the remaining Parmesan, leaving a pinch or two behind for the crust. Fold the border over the filling, pleating the edge to make it fit. The center will be open. Brush the crust with the egg yolk glaze. Sprinkle the glaze with the last pinches of Parmesan.
  • Bake until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes, then slide the galette onto a serving plate.

TOMATO GALETTE



Tomato Galette image

Salting the tomatoes ahead of time and letting them release some of their liquid is essential. It will allow the tomatoes to caramelize and ensures that the bottom of the crust stays flaky.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 lb. heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4" thick
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 oz. firm cheese (such as Asiago, cheddar, or Gouda), finely grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp. finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • Pulse 2 cups flour and 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl; drizzle with vinegar and 1/4 cup ice water. Mix with a fork, adding more ice water by the tablespoonful as needed, just until a shaggy dough comes together. Turn out onto a work surface and lightly knead until no dry spots remain (be careful not to overwork). Pat into a disk and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Gently toss tomatoes, garlic, and remaining 1 tsp. kosher salt in a large bowl. Let sit 5 minutes (tomatoes will start releasing some liquid). Drain tomato mixture and transfer to paper towels.
  • Unwrap dough and roll out on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper to a 14" round about 1/8" thick. Transfer on parchment to a baking sheet. Scatter cheese over dough, leaving a 1 1/2" border. Arrange tomatoes and garlic over cheese. Bring edges of dough up and over filling, overlapping as needed to create about a 1 1/2" border; brush dough with egg. Sprinkle tomatoes with sea salt and pepper. Chill in freezer 10 minutes.
  • Bake galette, rotating once, until crust is golden brown and cooked through, 55-65 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheet. Finely grate zest from lemon over galette; sprinkle with chives.
  • Do Ahead: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH FIRE ROASTED TOMATO SALSA AND POTATO CHEESE GALETTE



Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa and Potato Cheese Galette image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon coriander, toasted and crushed
Olive oil, for searing
2 cups mixed greens
2 tablespoons olive oil
Tomato Salsa, recipe follows
Potato Cheese Galette, recipe follows
5 Roma tomatoes
2 chipotles, reconstituted
1/2 cup chopped basil
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup olive oil
1 pound baking potato, peeled and cut into very thin rounds
1/4 cup clarified butter
Salt
2 ounces shredded mozzarella
2 ounces fresh goat cheese

Steps:

  • Season the beef with salt, pepper, and coriander.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a saute pan, heat some of the olive oil until smoking and sear the beef until browned all over. Transfer to oven and cook until medium rare, (120-degree internal temperature) about 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Season mixed greens with the two tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper. Divide evenly onto 4 plates. Cut the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices and place slices on top of mixed greens. Spoon half of the tomato salsa over the beef (do not cover completely) and serve remaining salsa on the side. Serve with Potato Cheese Galette.
  • Over a hot grill, roast the tomatoes until blackened. Transfer to a bowl and add the chipotles. Cover and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Add the basil, garlic and lime juice and marinate for 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until chunky. Transfer to a bowl and add the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of olive oil. Reserve.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the potato slices in a double layer in a medium bowl, pour the clarified butter over, and toss to coat the slices. Season lightly with salt. Arrange half the potatoes, flower fashion, in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet. Cook over medium heat until the ends begin to brown and the potatoes stick together (this will keep the cheeses from running through). Sprinkle with the cheeses and cover with the remaining potatoes, arranged the same way as the bottom layer. Set in the oven for 10 minutes, carefully flip potatoes with a wide spatula, and brown on a medium-high flame. Return to the oven for 5 minutes longer. Cut into 4 quarters and keep warm.

  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Combining different types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes, adds complexity and flavor to your galette.
  • Roast the tomatoes before using them: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them whole or cut them into wedges.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use should be flavorful and melty. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, and Gruyère.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients until they just come together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps it to hold its shape and prevents it from shrinking.
