Summer Squash And Fennel Galette Recipes

SUMMER SQUASH AND BACON GALETTE

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse until mixed. Add about a third of the chilled butter and process until thoroughly combined with no visible chunks of butter (the mixture will be slightly yellow). Add the remaining butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a very coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Add the vinegar in a single pulse. Gradually add 2 tablespoons ice water through the feed tube, pulsing just until evenly combined. Squeeze a handful of the dough together-it should just hold its shape and be a little crumbly. If still very powdery, pulse again, adding up to 2 tablespoons ice water.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface and pat together into a flat disk about 1/2-inch thick. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
• For the galette: Adjust an oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the yellow squash and zucchini with 3/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out a good amount of water from the vegetables.
• Meanwhile, lay out the bacon slices in a large skillet. Place over medium heat and cook partially, flipping occasionally, to render out some fat but not to brown or crisp up, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let cool slightly, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Reserve the bacon fat in the pan.
• Pat the squash slices dry; place in a large bowl with the red onion slices and toss with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Let the dough stand at room temperature for a few minutes until slightly softened. Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 12- to 13-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan on the circle, leaving empty a 1 1/2-inch border all around. Fan the squash, zucchini and onions in a circle, then scatter the bacon on top. Fold up the edges of the dough, pleating, to overlap the filling. Brush the dough border with the egg wash. Drizzle any bacon fat over the filling.
• Bake until golden brown all over and the filling is bubbly, 45 to 50 minutes. Brush the galette with a little vinegar while still warm and serve.

LEMONY RICOTTA SUMMER SQUASH GALETTE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Sprinkle zucchini lightly with salt. Transfer to a colander; drain for 15 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 2. Meanwhile, on a large piece of lightly floured parchment paper, roll pie dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer parchment and dough to a large baking sheet; set aside. 3. For ricotta filling, in a medium bowl whisk together ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, 1 tsp. of the olive oil, lemon peel, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Using a spatula, spread over dough, leaving a 1 1/2 inch border. Top with squash rounds. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Gently fold over pastry edge, pleating as necessary. 4. In a small bowl whisk egg yolk and 1 tsp. water. Lightly brush pastry edges with egg mixture. Transfer galette to oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Sprinkle with dill weed, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SUMMER SQUASH AND FENNEL GALETTE

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.

PUMPKIN, FENNEL & TALEGGIO GALETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Peel the squash, then halve and deseed it before cutting the flesh into thick wedges and halving them again to make quarters. Put the slices in a roasting tin with half the olive oil, the nutmeg and seasoning, and toss to coat. Roast for 30 mins, or until tender and a little caramelised.
• Halve the fennel bulbs lengthways and remove the tops and tough outer leaves from each piece. Trim the base and cut each half into thick wedges, keeping them intact at the base. Put the wedges straight into a bowl and toss with the lemon juice to prevent discolouring. Add the fennel seeds, remaining olive oil and some seasoning, then toss well. Spread the fennel in a roasting tin large enough to hold it in a single layer and cover with foil. Roast the fennel (at the same time as the squash) for 20 mins, or until tender with pale -gold undersides.
• Wash the spinach and cook in a covered pan over a medium heat for 1-2 mins. When wilted, drain in a colander and leave to cool. Squeeze the excess moisture out of the spinach, chop roughly and season. Melt the butter in a frying pan and quickly fry the spinach with the garlic for 3 mins. Set aside.
• Roll out the pastry to make the base of the tart, ending up with a piece measuring roughly 28 x 38cm. Put the pastry base on to a floured metal baking sheet. Create a border all the way round by lightly running a knife 2cm from the edge. Prick the rest of the pastry all over with a fork. Put a rectangle of baking parchment, the size of the inside of the border, over the pastry. Weight it down with baking beans. Knock up the sides of the pastry by holding a small knife at a right angle to the pastry and making small indentations to release the layers. This will give you a better rise. Paint the border with the egg wash.
• Put the pastry in the preheated oven and cook for 25 mins, removing the beans and paper after 15 mins. Take the partially cooked tart base out of the oven and, if the centre has risen, gently flatten it with the back of a wooden spoon. Turn the oven up to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Spoon the spinach onto the pastry, then put the squash and fennel on top. Distribute the cheese over the top, too. Put the tart back into the oven and cook for a further 25 mins. The cheese should be golden in patches and the pastry should be cooked and golden, but not too dark.
