Tomato & roasted garlic and basil mini galettes (Mini galettes de tomate, ajo, y albahaca)

 

 



French galletes are one of my favorite foods   but  many times I did not do them in a while (there are so many pending recipes) but I had bought heirloom tomatoes of different types (although it can be made with any tomato) and I already had them.  Until today I did them, and they are so easy (tres facile).

But... if you dont know what is a galette??

A galette, more specifically the galette des rois, is one of the most beloved dishes in the french cuisine. This food is one of the most popular types of galettes and is composed of a delicate pastry dough with a small charm, hidden inside.

 More often than not, this pastry takes the form as a sweet, open faced tart piled with with fruit, but many still love the endless savory combinations that can turn a galette into a main course.

They are popularized in american cuisine by vegetarians. While the classic greens of a salad are great or who choose a meat-free life, galettes are a surprisingly great way to bridge the two worlds of food.

Ingredients Crust

3 cups of all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons butter (cold and cubed)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup ice water


Gallete filling


Garlic 1 head

Cherry tomatoes (halved) 3 cups

or regular tomatoes in cubes or slices

1 tablespoons olive oil  more 2 tablespoon  oil divided

 1  onion (medium) peel in slices

Feta cheese or other cheese  (crumbled ) 2/3 cup

 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

salt and pepper (to taste)


  Note: about garlic you can roasting several extra heads of garlic at a time - it's delicious on everything from salads to sandwiches and keeps well in the fridge.



Method

Crust

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt

Cut in the butter using your fingertips or a pastry blender until the largest pieces are the size of tiny pebbles. Add the oil  and ice water.

Then use a rubber spatula to pull the dough together .(If is needed add some flour)

Knead a couple of times with your hands, then divide the dough in  five equal pieces .

Flatten each piece into a disk and wrap them in plastic individually.

Refrigerate for 45 minutes.


Roasted garlic

Preheat the oven to 370 ° F (180°c) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the top of the head of garlic to expose the tops of the bulbs, leave the papery skin itact.

Drizzle  wthe bulbs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Wrap tightly in aluminium foil. Bake in baking sheet for 30 to 35 minutes until the cloves are softened smelling.

Set baking sheet aside to use later..

Once the garlic is cool enough to handle pop the bulbs out of their casings. In a small bowl use a fork to smash into a smooth paste.


Filling and assembly

Peel, halve and thinly slice your onion. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large non stick pan to  medium to low heat.

Once hot add the onions. Once onions have started to turn golden color lower the heat.

Sprinkle a few pinchs of salt over the onions and stir to combine. Cook on low heat by 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

While onions are caramelizing halve the cherry tomatoes..

Place on a cutting board and sprinkle with salt.

Chop the basil into thin strips.


On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough out into a 6 inch circle (16 cm).

This dough is so flaky if is tearing just patch it and put in the fridge by a while.

Transfer the circles to the baking sheet you used earlier to roast the garlic.

Brush each circle with the roasted garlic paste, leaving a 1 inch border around the edges.

Divide the caramelized onions evenly between the galette and add the crumbled  cheese layer. Finish with the tomatoes. Fold the edges of the crust up around the filling in.

Bake at 180°c (370°F) until tomatoes are starting to burst and crust is golden.

Transfer to a wire rack and cool for a while. When cool sprinkle with basil leaves.

Galette keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, but really I dont think they'll make  it that long.

Ingredientes masa

3 tazas de harina sin polvos de hornear

1/2 cucharadita de azucar

1 cucharadita de sal

6 cucharadas de mantequilla (bien fría y en cubos)

1 cucharadas de aceite de oliva

1/2 taza de agua fría



Relleno de la galette o tartas

Una cabeza de ajo

3 tazas de tomates pequeños cherry  u otros

3 cucharadas de aceite de oliva o aceite de maiz u otro

1 cebolla mediana pelada y cortada a lo largo

 2/3 taza queso feta u otro granulado o en trozos chicos

1/2 taza de hojas de albahaca

sal y pimienta a gusto


Preparacion masa

En un bowl mezclar la harina, sal y cucharadita de azucar.

Cortar la mantequilla en trozos e ir agregando de a poco mezclando con el aceite de oliva y el agua fría.

Unir todo bien hasta formar una bola de masa.

Si es necesario agregar un poco de harina.

Amasar un poco la masa  entonces dividir la masa en 5 o 6 partes.

envolver cada trozo de masa en papel film plastico y refrigerar por unos 45 minutos.

Asi la masa quedara con mejor consistencia.


Precalentar el hrno

 180 °c y en una bandeja de horno o de esas para galletas colocarle papel mantequilla.

Cortar y pelar el ajo (pueden ser dos ajos) y colocar en la bandeja.

Agregarle el aceite de oliva u otro aceite de canola o maiz.

Cubrir con papel aluminio y dejar hornear unos 30 minutos.

Dejarlos enfriar.

Molerlos un poco mezclandolos con el aceite como haciendo una pasta.


Relleno y armado de las galettes o tartas

Pelar y cortar la cebolla a lo largo tipo pluma.

Colocar en un sarten y agregar unas dos cucharadas de aceite a fuego medio. Dorar un poco.

Agregar un poco de sal y revolver .Dejar que se doren o caramelizen un poco. Apagaqr y dejar enfrair un poco.

Mientras picar los tomates o cherry o sino en cuadrados si son tomates grandes, dejar en una tabla de madera mientras y cortar finita la albahaca tambien.

Para hacer las tartas

En una superficie o tabla enharinada estirar cada trozo de masa para cortarla igual uso un plato de unos 16 cm. 

Ir acomodando las masa en una bandeja con papel mantequilla(puede usarse la misma del ajo)

Con la pasta  y aceite de ajo pintar la base de las tartas .

Despues repartir la cebolla  entre todas las galettes poner bien al centro porqeu despues hay que doblar los bordes.

Colocar sobre la cebolla trozitos del queso repartiendo en todas.Siempre en el centro de la masa. Finalmente agregar los tomatos trozados o cortados,repartir trocitos de albahaca picada. Reservar un poco para servir.

doblar los bordes por la orilla hacia dentro como se ve en la foto.agregar un poco de sal y pimienta.

Cocinara 180°  hasta que los tomates empiezan como a reventarse un poco y los bordes de la tartaletas se ponen dorados, si ya estan los bordes dorados estasn listas.

Deberia ser unos 15 a 18 minutos. Depende de cada horno.

Dejar enfriar un poco antes de servir y agregar mas albahaca picada

Se pueden calentar si quedaron en microondas pero aqui se las comen hasta frias. la masa es muy rica.
