Tomato & Potato Galette with a Parmesan Chilli Crust
Ingredients
Pastry
- 110 grams White Flour
- 40 grams Wholemeal Flour
- 115 grams Butter Cold and Cubed
- ½ – 1 tsp Fermented Chilli Paste or Chilli Flakes adjust to taste
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Pepper
Ricotta & Onion Layers
- 3 French Shallots Sliced and caramelise in frypan on low heat with a little butter and oil until tender and golden sweet.
- 100 grams Ricotta
- 2 cloves Garlic Crushed
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Ground Pepper
Tomato & Potato Layer
- 1-2 Tomatoes Sliced very thinly
- 1 Potato Sliced very thinly
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Ground Pepper
- 60 grams Crumbed Feta
Other
- 1 tbsp Pine Nuts
- 1 Egg Lightly Beaten
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 200°C
Pastry
- Add all the pastry ingredients except water and rub the butter with your fingertips into the flour mixture. You can use a food processor but be careful not to overwork.
- Add 1 – 4 tsp of iced cold water to bring pastry together into a ball
- It is a very sticky pastry which creates the beautiful flaky layers
- Form into a ball, wrap and place in the fridge for an hour.
- Remove from fridge and either place on a lightly floured piece of baking paper or a silicon baking sheet. This is very important as the pastry is very flaky and we need the sheet or paper in place to assemble.
- Gently roll out your pastry to about 28 cm round
Filling
- Mix the ricotta, garlic, salt and pepper and then spread over the pastry leaving a 2 cm edge
- Spread over the caramelised shallots to form another layer
- Place the thinly sliced tomato, potato, oil, herbs and seasoning in a bowl and gently coat before arranging in alternate overlapping layers on top of the shallots
- Around the edge of your galette slice every 8 cms and curl your crust up over the edge of your toppings to seal. Slighly overlap to form the edge.
- Crumble your feta on-top and coat edge with egg then place in your oven for 45 Minutes
- On removing from oven sprinkle with pine nuts and allow to cool slightly on tray
- To remove your galette from the baking paper or silicon sheet use a spatula to gentle slide onto the cooling rack. Once slightly cooled you can slide gently onto a palate for serving. This step is a little challenging as the pastry is very flaky. But is it truly worth the effort of gentle hand!
