Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
¾ cup whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
3 tablespoons cold water
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 cloves garlic, peeled and stems removed
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 medium red potatoes, thinly sliced
⅓ cup water
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 rainbow swiss chards, stem and leaves separated, thinly sliced
8 oz goat cheese, room temperature
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter, work it into the flour until only pea-sized pieces remain. Add the water, starting with 3 tablespoons, and mix the dough with your fingers until it is moist enough to hold together. Add more water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough onto a clean surface, form into a disc, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • While the dough is resting, make the filling: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic cloves to a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, until the garlic just begins to brown. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until the onion is caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool in a bowl. To the same pan, add the potatoes, ½ teaspoon of salt, and the water. Increase the heat to medium-high, cover, and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the potatoes are almost fully cooked and the water is nearly evaporated. Remove the lid and cook for 2 minutes more to completely evaporate the water. Remove potatoes from the pan and set aside to cool.
  • To the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the red pepper flakes, and chard stems. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes, until the stems are softened. Add the chard leaves and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and cook for 5 minutes, until wilted and reduced in volume by half. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Remove the garlic cloves from the caramelized onions and transfer to a small bowl. Mash with the back of a fork, then add to the softened goat cheese and stir to combine.
  • Stir the onions into the pan with the sautéed chard.
  • Assemble the crostata: Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch (30 cm) wide circle, about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread ½ cup (110 G) of the garlic goat cheese over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (50 cm) border around the edges. Arrange half of the potatoes, slightly overlapping, over the goat cheese, then top with half of the Swiss chard and onion mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes and chard mixture.
  • Fold the edges of the crust up and over the filling to create a rustic look. Brush the crust with the beaten egg. Top with dollops of the remaining goat cheese.
  • Bake the crostata for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

SAVORY CROSTATA



Savory Crostata image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed, trimmed to fit a 10-inch pan
1/4 cup baby arugula
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
5 cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat an oven-proof 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and onions and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are a dark golden-brown, about 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir in the balsamic and sprinkle the oregano over the top. Turn off the heat and spread the onions evenly over the bottom of the pan, using a rubber spatula.
  • Place the ricotta in a small bowl. Season with 1/8 teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper. Dollop the ricotta over the onions in 8 to 10 places. Using a fork, prick the puff pasty a few times evenly. Place the puff pastry over the top of the filling, pressing down gently to make sure the dough is touching the ricotta and onions.
  • Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with a plate slightly larger than the skillet. Invert the crostata onto the plate, replacing any onions that may have stuck to the pan. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dress the arugula with the lemon juice. Sprinkle the arugula over the cooled crostata and nestle the tomatoes into the onions. Slice into wedges or squares and serve.

TOMATO & GOAT CHEESE CROSTATA



Tomato & Goat Cheese Crostata image

I'll always remember making my first crostata. It was from my friend Johanne Killeen's cookbook Cucina Simpatica. Johanne and her late husband George Germon started Al Forno restaurant in Providence; 40 years later, it's still one of my favorite places - and I just adore Johanne's cookbook. Her apple crostata is both elegant and earthy, a flaky, buttery crust filled with sweet apples. It's divine! Over the years, I've played around with lots of other sweet crostatas, like one with a raspberry-rhubarb filling (it's in my book Cooking for Jeffrey), but I also love savory crostatas. I make this tomato and goat cheese version with the same flaky crust (minus the sugar), a layer of creamy goat cheese on the bottom and big slices of gorgeous heirloom tomatoes on top. The trick is to bake it on an upside-down sheet pan: Because there are no sides on the pan to block the heat, the tart browns more evenly. This crostata, served with a salad, is a perfect summer lunch!

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
1/4 pound (1 stick) very cold unsalted butter, diced
3 tablespoons ice water
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
4 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts, spun dry (4 leeks)
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound heirloom tomatoes, cored and sliced 3/8 inch thick (see Cook's Notes)
Good olive oil
4 ounces creamy fresh goat cheese, crumbled
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk, for egg wash
Chopped fresh basil leaves and chives

Steps:

  • For the pastry, place the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse to combine. Add the diced butter and toss carefully with your fingers to coat each piece of butter with flour. Pulse 12 to 15 times, until the butter is the size of peas. While pulsing, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Pulse to combine, stopping just before the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and form it into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Heat the 4 tablespoons butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the leeks, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and sauté for 8 minutes, until the leeks are tender and starting to brown. Set aside. Place the tomatoes on a plate, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Set aside.
  • On a floured board, roll the dough into an 11-inch circle, then place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Turn a sheet pan upside down and transfer the paper to the inverted pan. Spread the leeks on the pastry, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Crumble the goat cheese evenly on top. Arrange the tomatoes over the goat cheese, overlapping the slices because they will shrink. Turn the edges of the pastry up and over the tomatoes, crimping so they lie flat. Brush the pastry with the egg wash. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pastry is nicely browned. Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, sprinkle lightly with the fresh herbs and salt, cut in wedges and serve warm.

SUMMER VEGETABLE GALETTE



Summer Vegetable Galette image

A savory galette is the easier and more streamlined cousin of a classic quiche. It has a buttery pastry filled with any combination of vegetables, cheeses and meats, but without the need to make a custard to anchor it all. In this galette recipe, roasted summer vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes) are combined with goat cheese and fresh red chiles for a ratatouille-like mix with a bite, all nestled into a hearty whole-grain crust. Feel free to use any combination of cooked vegetables instead, even leftovers from the fridge. You'll need three cups total. Serve it as you would quiche, with a salad for lunch or a light dinner.

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2/3 cup/80 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/90 grams rye flour or whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon/5 grams sugar
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams fine sea salt
1 large egg
Heavy cream, as needed
1 stick/113 grams unsalted butter, cut into big pieces
2 teaspoons/10 milliliters lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon/4 grams grated lemon zest (optional)
2 medium eggplant (about 1 pound), trimmed and thinly sliced
2 medium zucchini (about 3/4 pound), trimmed and thinly sliced
1 pound plum tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Kosher salt, as needed
Black pepper, as needed
2 hot chile peppers, such as cherry peppers, seeded and minced
3 ounces goat cheese, softened
1 small garlic clove, grated or pressed
1 teaspoon thyme leaves

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables for a more colorful and flavorful crostata. Some good options include zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. This will help them hold their shape in the crostata.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the crostata.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough. This will make it tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, as this will make the dough dry.
  • Bake the crostata until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are heated through.

Conclusion:

This roasted vegetable goat cheese crostata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of roasted vegetables, creamy goat cheese, and flaky crust is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this crostata a success every time.
