Whole wheat crust, savory, healthy almond filling and topped with super thin sliced zucchinis and red onion. Here is the recipe; please share if you like it.
WHAT IS A GALETTE?
A galette is a pie with no formal shape and no pie dish. You can say it is an informal pie. The galette is a recipe that originated in France and has always been very successful because of how easy it is to make and how beautiful it always turns out.
Basically, a galette is a type of dough with a fruit or vegetable filling. You can make blackberry galettes, apple galettes, pear, plum, etc. Really, whatever comes to your mind because it can be sweet or savory.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE ZUCCHINI GALETTE AND RED ONION
- Crust
- Flour I use whole wheat flour but you can use the one you like best.
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Ice water, serve water in a cup and then add ice if you don’t have really cold ice water.
- Filling
- Almonds (affiliate link) soaked in water for at least three hours, it is better that they are soaked so that they are soft. If you don’t have time to soak them, nothing happens, just blend for a longer time. You can substitute them without a problem with cashew, macadamia nuts, or pistachios.
- Lemon juice, use lemon, lime or substitute with apple cider vinegar (affiliate link).
- Garlic. natural garlic is always going to be better.
- Water, if your blender needs a little bit to run well.
- Salt
- Zucchinis
- Red onion, you can substitute shallot or white or yellow onion.
HOW TO MAKE A GALETTE?
- Food processor (affiliate link) (affiliate link). You can do it in the food processor (affiliate link). It is faster to do it here, add the flour and oil and pulse until everything is combined. When the flour has the consistency of wet sand, add the water little by little until you have a malleable dough. Form a disk with it, cover it and let it rest for five minutes or until you have the rest of the ingredients for the savory zucchini galette ready.
- With your hands. You can make this by hand in a large mixing bowl. As with the food processor (affiliate link), you put the flour and oil first and then mix. When it looks like wet sand, add the water and mix until it forms a smooth dough. Form a disk, cover, and set it aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE THE BEST GALETTE
- Let the dough rest for a minimum of five minutes so that you can stretch it better.
- Try to make the filling as dry as possible so that the bottom does not become soggy.
- When you roll it out, do it on a piece of parchment paper. This makes flipping the edges easier.
- One of the beauties of a galettes is that it does not matter how you do it or how beautiful or ugly the edge your dough is on the edges, it always comes out of the oven beautiful.
- Add the ingredients that you want. If you want to add tomato, corn, herbs such as basil, mint, or a good spoonful of pesto, go for it. Really, it will turn out more delicious.
- Bake until the edge is golden brown and the dough is crisp.
HOW TO SERVE THE ZUCCHINI GALETTE?
- Breakfast or brunch. Have it with a green juice, with fresh coffee, and with a fruit of the season on the side.
- Lunch. Serve alongside a salad with a simple vinaigrette or a summer panzanella.
- Dinner. For dinner, you can serve it alone or with a salad. It is also very tasty if you have it with a chickpea and bean salad. For starters, you can serve a lentil soup or a tomato soup with chipotle.
