SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE MINI GALETTES RECIPE BY TASTY



Sweet Potato Casserole Mini Galettes Recipe by Tasty image

A fun and handheld take on a traditional holiday favorite. Topped with a sweet streusel and mini marshmallows, these gorgeous galettes could probably pass as dessert, but we'll leave that course to the pies. To save yourself some time, prepare the dough and streusel the day before.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Sides

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
½ cup buttermilk, plus 2 tablespoons
kosher salt, for boiling
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup milk
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
¼ cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, lighlty packed
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
½ cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
¼ cup turbinado sugar
½ cup mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter and toss to coat. Using your hands, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Make a well in the center of the butter/flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Working quickly so the butter doesn't soften, use your hands to form a shaggy dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it comes together, being careful not to overwork. Form the dough into a 7-inch (18 cm) square about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Cut into 8 equal pieces and form into discs. Wrap the discs in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Make the filling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the sweet potatoes, then reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are very tender. Drain, then transfer to a medium bowl and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • To the bowl with the sweet potatoes, add the melted butter, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and egg. Mix well with a fork, mashing the sweet potatoes, until smooth and well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Make the streusel: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick mat.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with 2 forks until crumbly. Add the chopped pecans and mix well.
  • Spread the streusel on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then crumble and let cool completely before using. The streusel will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Assemble the galettes: Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll out each disc of pie dough into a 7-8 inch (18-20 cm)round, trimming the edges for even circles. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the sweet potato filling into the center of each round. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, leaving an opening in the center. Transfer the galettes to the prepared baking sheets, 4 per pan.
  • Brush with the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
  • Bake the galettes for 25 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each galette with about 1 tablespoon of the streusel and 1 tablespoon of marshmallows, then return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are browned and bubbling.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

SWEET POTATO GALETTE



Sweet Potato Galette image

Every part of this simple galette has its charms. The crust is easy to pull together and since it's rolled out flat - no crimping or fluting - it's doable even if you're not a pie-hand. The topping is thin slices of sweet potato and apple brushed with maple syrup. And the filling is a hidden gem, a mix of cream cheese, Parmesan and maple syrup spiked with chile powder. Here, it's piment d'Ville, a California chile grown from the seeds of piment d'Espelette, native to French Basque Country. This type of chile is warm and toasty, a little hot and a little sweet and a jazzy partner that swings sweet and savory, just like the rest of the galette.

Categories     dinner, lunch, pies and tarts, appetizer, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 tablespoons/113 grams very cold unsalted butter, cut into 16 pieces
About 1/4 cup/60 milliliters ice water
3 ounces/85 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1 to 2 teaspoons piment d'Ville, piment d'Espelette or other ground red chile
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 medium sweet potato, scrubbed and dried
1 medium red apple, rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped pecans, for sprinkling (optional)
Snipped chives, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor to mix. While pulsing, drop the butter through the feed tube. Continue pulsing, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture looks like coarse meal dotted with small and large chunks. Add water a little at a time, mixing in short and longer pulses between additions, until bumpy curds form. They should hold together when pinched. Press the dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk and place between parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough into a circle a bit larger than 11 inches in diameter, then trim to 11 inches; prick all over with a fork. Refrigerate between parchment on a baking sheet for at least 2 hours (or freeze for 1 hour).
  • Center a rack in the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cover the chilled crust (still between parchment on the baking sheet) with another baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the top baking sheet and parchment paper and bake for another 8 minutes or so, until lightly golden. Set aside. (You can make this up to 8 hours ahead.)
  • Make the galette: In a medium bowl, with a flexible spatula, beat together the cream cheese, Parmesan, milk, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon chile powder and the salt. Taste and add more chile, if you'd like. (It will get hotter when it bakes.) Cut the potato and the apple into very thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  • While you don't want the cheese mixture to completely cover the crust, you do want the potato and apple slices to go right to the edge of the crust, so spread the cheese mixture over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Then, cover the entire crust with the potato and apple slices in slightly overlapping concentric circles. (You may have some slices left.) Mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, the oil and 1/4 teaspoon chile powder. Brush this mixture over the galette (just gloss the top - you might not need all of the mixture). Sprinkle with Parmesan and pecans, if using.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are softened and cooked through (test with the point of a knife). Scatter with chives, if using, and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. The galette is also good warm or at room temperature.

1 1/2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grainy mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Wondra quick-dissolving flour or all-purpose flour (See Tips, below)
4 eggs
3 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) or fresh breadcrumbs
8 egg whites
4 starchy yellow sweet potatoes (not orange), peeled and coarsely grated
For callaloo
2 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 bunch callaloo leaves, fresh or frozen and defrosted, roughly chopped (see Tips, below)
6 large pods okra, fresh or frozen
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh pumpkin, diced
2 whole scallions, chopped
2 fresh pimiento peppers, seeded and chopped
1 Scotch bonnet chile, whole
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 fresh thyme sprigs
To cook crab cakes
1/2 cup olive oil, divided into 4 (2-tablespoon) portions
To assemble dish
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Form crab cakes
  • In large sauté pan over low heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add red, yellow, and green peppers; scallions; celery; and pimientos. Sauté until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and let cool.
  • Add crabmeat, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to vegetables and stir to combine. Form mixture into 16 patties.
  • Place Wondra in large bowl. In second large bowl, whisk together eggs and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. In third large bowl, place panko. In fourth large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. In fifth large bowl, place grated sweet potatoes.
  • Carefully dip 1 patty in Wondra and dust off excess. Then, dip in beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and then in panko. Next, dip in egg whites, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, dip in shredded sweet potatoes, gently pressing potato to patty. Transfer patty to large baking sheet and repeat with remaining patties, filling 2 baking sheets. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Make callaloo
  • In medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, callaloo leaves, okra, onion, pumpkin, scallions, pimientos, Scotch bonnet, garlic, and thyme. Bring to boil, lower heat, and simmer 1 hour.
  • Cook crab cakes
  • In large skillet over moderately low heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 4 crab cakes and fry until potatoes are golden and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain crab cakes on paper towels and keep warm. Add 2 more tablespoons oil to pan and cook 4 more cakes. Repeat with remaining cakes, cooking in batches of 4 and adding 2 tablespoons oil before each batch. Keep warm in oven.
  • Assemble dish
  • Remove thyme sprigs and Scotch bonnet from callaloo and discard. Pour mixture into blender and purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among 8 soup plates, and top each with 2 crab cakes.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will create a flaky, tender crust.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • When filling the pie, be sure to leave some room around the edges for the crust to expand.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

With its flaky crust and creamy crab filling, this galette is a delicious and satisfying dish. Perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, this galette is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give this galette of sweet potato-crusted Tobago crab cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
