Beet And Sweet Potato Galette Recipes

RUSTIC SWEET POTATO & BEET GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush a little olive oil on a large baking sheet.
• Make the crust. Fill a bowl with 6 tablespoons water. Add 3-4 ice cubes and stir. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, herbs, and sea salt. Add the coconut oil in dollops. Make sure your coconut oil is in solid, scoopable form. If it's in a liquid state (which happens right around 76 degrees Fahrenheit), refrigerate it until it's solid but stirrable, then proceed.
• Using a pastry blender, two knives, or your clean hands, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture, mixing until it is the texture of coarse crumbs or wet sand. Grab a wooden spoon and drizzle in the ice-cold water, a tablespoon at a time, stirring just until the dough starts to come together. Use your hands to form one cohesive ball of dough in the bowl. If it falls apart, add a bit more water.
• Lay out a pastry sheet or large piece of parchment paper and sprinkle a little flour on it (I find it much easier to transfer the crust using a sheet or parchment). Place the dough on the sheet or counter top. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough. Roll it out into a circle about 14 inches diameter. With a knife, cut the rough edges off so that your pastry is in the form of a circle(ish - remember - rustic!) Reserve scraps. Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the crust to the baking sheet. Don't worry if it rips or comes apart a bit - you can repair it right on the baking sheet. The crust is pretty forgiving.
• Layer the beets and sweet potatoes on the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border. Start with a large circle of beets around the perimeter, then sweet potatoes, then repeat until you reach the center. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and repeat with another layer, this time starting with sweet potatoes. Fold the edges of the dough up over the edges of the vegetables. If any of the dough tears or breaks, press it back together, or use your leftover scraps to patch it up if needed.
• Brush the entire galette with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle the 1/4 teaspoon salt over the entire thing.
• Bake until the crust is golden-brown and the vegetables are fork-tender, about 40 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the parsley, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Brush the mixture over the galette while it's still piping hot.
• Cut into six wedges and serve.

BEET GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Pat the beets very dry with paper towels. Toss in a large bowl with the thyme, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface into a 13-inch round; place on an inverted baking sheet. Spread the cheese evenly on the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Shingle the beet rounds over the cheese. Fold in the edges of the dough over the beets, pleating as needed. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil. Bake until the edges and bottom of the galette are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until the onion is golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 1 more minute.
• Top the galette with the caramelized onion, walnuts and chives. Cut into 4 wedges and divide among plates.
• Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large bowl. Add the greens, season with salt and gently toss. Serve with the galette.

A RUSTIC (AND GLUTEN-FREE!) SWEET POTATO, APPLE AND BEET GALETTE

Steps:

• For the crust: Set up your food processor with the "S" blade. Pulse the almond flour, tapioca starch, sea salt and butter cubes until a crumbly mixture forms.
• Layer the veggies and fruit in the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches on the outside. If you're using dairy, crumble goat cheese or feta on top.

SWEET POTATO AND YAM GALETTE

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, ginger, lemon peel and salt; stir until sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.
• Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line 9- to 10-inch-diameter, 13/4-inch-deep ovenproof skillet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick spray. Toss sweet potatoes and yams with flour in large bowl. Add brown sugar mixture; stir to coat potatoes and yams. Arrange sweet potatoes and yams alternately in overlapping circles in prepared skillet. Spoon any remaining brown sugar mixture over potatoes. Press on potatoes to compact. Cover with foil.
• Bake potatoes until just tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and press potatoes with metal spatula to compact. Continue baking until potatoes are very tender, pressing on potatoes occasionally, about 30 minutes longer. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 400°F oven about 30 minutes.) Let stand 10 minutes. Using oven mitts, invert skillet onto platter. Remove skillet. Peel off foil. Replace any pieces of sweet potatoes and yams that may have become dislodged. Cut galette into wedges; serve with lemon wedges.
