1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 ounces cream cheese
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces Swiss chard, stems separated and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 large onion, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons golden raisins
3 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
6 ounces ricotta, room temperature
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Crust: Pulse flour, oats, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, cream cheese, and egg yolk; pulse until dough just holds together, 15 to 20 seconds.
  • Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and flatten into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Filling: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add chard stems, onion, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until stems are soft and slightly brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar and cook, stirring, until liquid is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in raisins. Transfer mixture to a nonreactive bowl.

Swiss Chard and Mushroom Galette Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 19

Whole Wheat Dough:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Galette:
1 cup ricotta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 oz. maitake mushrooms, torn, and/or crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 bunch large Swiss chard, ribs and stems removed, leaves cut into bite-size pieces
All-purpose flour (for parchment)
1 large egg, beaten to blend
1 cup mixed fresh tender herbs (such as flat-leaf parsley, cilantro, dill, and/or chives)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Steps:

  • Whole Wheat Dough: Pulse all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and 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 ¼ cup ice water. Mix with a fork, adding more ice water by the tablespoonful if needed, just until a shaggy dough comes together; lightly knead until no dry spots remain (do not overwork). Pat into a disk and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Galette: Preheat oven to 400°. Season ricotta with kosher salt and pepper; set aside. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; season with kosher salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add half of chard, season with kosher salt and pepper, and cook, tossing, until slightly wilted. Add remaining chard and cook, tossing occasionally, until completely wilted, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Roll out dough on a lightly floured sheet of parchment to a 14" round about ⅛" thick. Transfer on parchment to a baking sheet. Spread three-fourths of ricotta over dough, leaving a 1½" border. Top with reserved chard, then mushrooms. Dollop remaining ricotta over vegetables. Bring edges of dough up and over filling, overlapping as needed, to create a 1½" border; brush with egg. Bake galette, rotating once, until crust is golden brown and cooked through, 35-40 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheet. Toss herbs with lemon juice and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; season with pepper. Top galette with herbs, zest, and sea salt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right Swiss chard. Look for Swiss chard with brightly colored, crisp leaves and firm stems.
  • Prepare the Swiss chard properly. Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly and remove the tough stems. Chop the leaves and stems separately.
  • Use a good quality ricotta cheese. Fresh, whole milk ricotta cheese will give the galette the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help it to hold its shape better.
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the galette cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

This Swiss chard and ricotta galette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of Swiss chard, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese is flavorful and satisfying. The galette is also a great way to use up leftover Swiss chard. With its flaky crust and creamy filling, this galette is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
