[CHRISTMAS-RECIPE] Harvest Galette

Harvest Galette

Comments
The squash and onion mixtures can be cooked in advance and refrigerated for up to three days. Assemble the galette just before baking.

Ingredients
1 ounce unsalted butter -- (2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon honey
1 delicata squash -- (1 1/4 pounds) cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and seeded
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion -- thinly sliced (2 cups)
1 large disk Pate Brisee
All-purpose flour -- for surface
1 pound fresh ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
1 large egg -- lightly beaten, for egg wash
10 fresh sage -- leaves

Procedure
1. 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.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20 minutes.

3. 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.

4. Stir together ricotta and 2 eggs in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 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.

Additional info:

Delicata squash (Cucurbita pepo) is a winter squash with distinctive longitudinal dark green stripes on a yellow or cream colored background and sweet, orange-yellow flesh. It is also known as the peanut squash, Bohemian squash, or sweet potato squash. Although considered a winter squash, delicata squash belongs to the same species as all types of summer squash (including pattypan squash, zucchini and yellow crookneck squash).
