Roasted Vegetable Galette Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or in a large bowl, pulse or mix together the flours, sugar, and salt. In a measuring cup, lightly beat the egg, then add just enough cream to get to 1/3 cup. Lightly whisk the egg and cream together.
• Add butter to flour mixture and pulse or use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break up the butter. If using a food processor, do not over-process; you need chickpea-size chunks of butter. Drizzle the egg mixture (up to 1/4 cup) over the dough and pulse or stir until it just starts to come together but is still mostly large crumbs. Mix in lemon juice and zest if using.
• Put the dough on lightly floured counter and knead to make one uniform piece. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for 2 hours, or up to 3 days.
• When you are ready to make the tart, roll out dough to a 12-inch round (it can be ragged). Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill while preparing the filling.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread out eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes in one layer on three separate sheet pans or cookie sheets. Drizzle generously with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast vegetables, tossing zucchini and eggplant occasionally, 35 to 40 minutes. Eggplant and tomatoes will be golden at the edges; zucchini will be tender. Don't let the vegetables get too dark because they will continue to brown in the tart. Transfer vegetables to a bowl (you want to have about 3 cups of them) and toss with chile peppers.
• Decrease oven temperature to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine goat cheese, garlic and thyme leaves. Spread mixture in a thin layer over crust, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all around. Arrange vegetables evenly over goat cheese. Fold up edges of crust, pleating to hold it in (sloppy is fine). Brush pastry generously with leftover egg and cream mixture.
• Transfer galette to oven and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• To prepare crust: Combine all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor; pulse several times. Mix water and oil; sprinkle over the dry ingredients and pulse just until blended. Add olives and pulse to mix. (Alternatively, combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the water-oil mixture, stirring until well blended. Stir in olives.)
• Press the dough into a disk; if it seems dry, add a little more water. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer. The unbaked crust will keep, well wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• To prepare filling: Combine carrots, parsnips, squash, beet, 1 tablespoon oil, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Spread the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet. Cut the tip off the head of garlic. Set on a square of foil, sprinkle with a tablespoon of water and pinch the edges of the foil together. Place the packet on the baking sheet with the vegetables. Roast, stirring the vegetables every 10 minutes, until they are tender and beginning to brown and the garlic is soft, about 35 minutes. (The garlic may take a little longer.)
• Transfer the vegetables to a bowl. Unwrap the garlic and let cool slightly. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a small bowl; add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and mash with a fork. Add the mashed garlic to the roasted vegetables and toss to mix. Add 3/4 cup goat cheese and toss to coat.
• To assemble galette: Roll the dough into a rough 14-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and place the dough on it. Arrange the roasted vegetables on the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Fold the border up and over the filling to form a rim, pleating as you go. Scatter the remaining 1/4 cup goat cheese over the vegetables. Stir egg and water briskly; brush lightly over the crust.
• Bake the galette at 400 degrees until the crust is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Make the dough:
• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter and pulse until coarse, pea-sized crumbs appear, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add vodka and 2 tablespoons ice water and process until the dough just holds together, about 30 seconds. Squeeze a small amount of dough between your fingers -- if it is very crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time (2 tablespoons maximum). Do not over process.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and push together into a rough ball. Knead a few times to combine, then place on a piece of plastic wrap and push together using the plastic wrap to form a 5x7-inch rectangular slab. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or overnight).
• Assemble the tart:
• Assemble the tart: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small sauté pan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons each olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. Add the leek, salt, sugar and a pinch of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Transfer leeks to the bowl of a food processor and let cool slightly.
• To the food processor, add the cream cheese, farmer cheese, and tarragon to the leek mixture. Pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then add the egg and pulse a few more times until combined. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the vegetables (if using red beets, cook in a separate pot so they don't bleed). Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer and cook until tender but still holding their structure, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
• On a floured piece of parchment paper, roll your dough to 12x15-inch rough rectangle. Place 1 1/2 to 2 cups of filling in the center of the dough and spread out, leaving a 2-inch border on all sides. Arrange your vegetable rounds in a shingled pattern over the filling, then gently fold up the sides to create a border. Brush the vegetables lightly with oil and brush the pastry edges with egg wash, sprinkle the galette with coarse sea salt. Bake until vegetables are lightly golden and pastry is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool.
• Make the mustard vinaigrette:
• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar, lemon, garlic, and sugar. Gradually whisk in the oil and blend until emulsified. Taste and add 1/2 teaspoon warm water if necessary to balance flavors. Stir in the tarragon.
• To finish:
• Once galette has cooled, brush the vegetables with the mustard vinaigrette. Sprinkle with chopped tarragon, cut into squares, and serve warm or at room temperature.
• DO AHEAD: Dough can be made and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance, or frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before using. Tart can be assembled and frozen for up to 3 months. Tarragon vinaigrette can be made up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green onions in the hot oil until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Combine goat cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; stir with a fork until blended.
• Gently flatten each puff pastry sheet with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four squares. Lightly cut a border about 1/4-inch from the edges of each square using a sharp knife, not going all the way through the dough.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange puff pastry squares on a baking sheet; spread goat cheese mixture on each square. Top each square with onion mixture. Chill in refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Arrange zucchini and tomato slices in a pattern on each puff pastry square, allowing vegetables to overlap. Season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with about 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown and puffed, about 20 minutes. Garnish with basil strips.
