Harvest Galette Recipes

HARVEST GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt butter with honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Arrange squash rounds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and brush both cut sides with butter-honey mixture. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Roast until squash rounds are browned on bottoms, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 375 degrees.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
• Turn out pate brisee onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 16-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Stir together ricotta and 2 eggs in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread ricotta mixture over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with onions and squash rounds. Sprinkle with sage leaves, and season with pepper. Fold dough over edge of filling to form a crust. Brush crust with egg wash. Bake until golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm.

HARVEST VEGETABLE PANCAKE WITH GREENS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring potato to a boil in a pot of salted water. Cook until knife-tender, about 6 minutes; drain.
• Grate beets and carrots on the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl (or shred in a food processor). Stir in chickpeas, potato, flour, and 1 teaspoon salt. Season with pepper.
• In a large nonstick straight-sided skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add beet mixture, and firmly press evenly into pan using a flexible spatula. Cook, undisturbed, 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat, cover with a serving platter, and carefully invert pancake onto platter. Slide pancake back into pan, and cook until crisp and brown around edge, 10 to 12 minutes. Invert pancake onto platter.
• In a medium bowl, toss salad greens with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Top pancake with salad and goat cheese, and cut into wedges.
