Sometimes you have to experiment with ingredients… if you are lucky you get something awesome. If not it can end up in a big disaster. Luckily this Galette with Tomatoes & Plums and a Crust with Parmigiano here turned out pretty damn good! ;)
In my early baking days I would have never thought of combining plums with tomatoes and cheese… but I got a bit more adventurous when it comes to flavor pairing.
This galette is something you should definitely try – it is the plum season right now, so it is definitely a good time to make this. The tomato-plum-parmigiano combination is really a good match. Together with the awesome flaky crust of the galette a winner for sure! And I think it also looks nice ;)
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(for 4 persons)
For the dough:
1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. finely grated parmigiano
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (115g) butter, cold
2 tbsp. crème fraîche, cold
3-4 tbsp. ice water, plus more if needed
For the filling:
4-6 cherry tomatoes
5-6 Damson plums
1/2 cup (50g) finely grated parmigiano
1 egg, lightly beaten
flaky sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
some fresh basil leaves
(für 4 Personen)
Für den Teig:
160g Mehl (Type 405)
2 EL geriebener Parmesan
1/2 TL frisch gemahlener schwarzer Pfeffer
1/2 TL Salz
115g kalte Butter
2 EL Crème fraîche, kalt
3-4 EL Eiswasser, plus ggf. 1-2 EL
Für die Füllung:
4-5 Kirschtomaten
5-6 Zwetschgen
50g geriebener Parmesan
1 Ei, verquirlt
Meersalzflocken
frisch gemahlener schwarzer Pfeffer
ein paar frische Basilikumblätter
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Add the flour, parmigiano, black pepper and salt to a large bowl and mix. Add the cold butter in small pieces and mix with a pastry cutter until the butter and flour form small crumbs. Add the crème fraîche and 3 tablespoons of the ice water and mix with a rubber spatula – you should get a soft dough (but not too soft). If it is not coming together add another tablespoon of the water and more if needed. Form a flat disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for an hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220°C). Cut the tomatoes in half and remove seeds and liquid parts – cut the halves in 3 slices. Wash the damson plums, core and cut into 4 slices each. Set aside.
3. Roll out the dough on a lighly floured surface to a circle of about 14 inches (35cm). Carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Add the parmigiano in a circle on top of the dough, about 2 inches (5cm) distance to the edge. Keep some of the cheese to sprinkle the galette later. Now place the tomato slices inside the cheese circle, also in a circle – then the plum slices – tomatoes and maybe some plums in the middle, if you still have some left. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese to the inside to give the galette a nice shape and keep fluids from running out. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and sprinkle the whole galette with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes. Take out of the oven and lower the heat to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle with the remaining parmigiano, turn the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes more. Take out of the oven and let cool down slighly. Decorate with fresh basil leaves and serve warm.
1. Mehl, Parmesan, schwarzer Pfeffer und Salz in einer großen Schüssel vermischen. Die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und mit einem Teigmischer so lange bearbeiten, bis alles zu kleinen Krümeln geworden ist. Crème fraîche und 3 EL Eiswasser zugeben und mit einem Gummispatel verrühren. Es sollte ein weicher, aber nicht zu weiter Teig entstehen. Falls die Krümel nicht zusammenhalten wollen, noch etwas Wasser zugeben. Alles zu einer flachen Scheibe formen und in Klarsichtfolie hüllen. Für 1 Stunde in den Külschrank legen.
2. Den Ofen auf 220˚C (425°F) vorheizen. Tomaten halbieren, Kerne und die wässrigen Innereien entfernen und dann die Hälften noch einmal längs dritteln. Die Zwetschgen waschen, entkernen und dann längs vierteln. Alles zur Seite stellen.
3. Den Teig auf einer leicht bemehlten Fläche zu einem Kreis von etwa 35cm (14 inches) ausrollen und dann vorsichtig auf ein Backblech mit Backpapier legen. Den Parmesan in einem Kreis mit etwa 5cm (2 inches) Abstand zum Rand auf dem Teig verteilen. Etwas Käse übrig lassen – der soll dann später auf der Galette verteilt werden. Die Tomaten jetzt innerhalb des Käsekreises fächerartig in einer Runde auf den Teig legen, dann das selbe mit den Zwetschgen, noch einmal Tomaten und wenn noch Zwetschgen übrig sind, in die Mitte legen. Den Rand der Galette über den Käse zur Mitte falten – so verhindert man, dass Flüssigkeit austritt. Die Ränder mit dem verquirlten Ei bestreichen und alles mit Salz und Pfeffer bestreuen. Für 10 Minuten backen. Galette herausnehmen, mit dem restlichen Parmesan bestreuen, Backblech umdrehen und dann weitere 20-25 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen. Mit frischen Basilikumblättern dekorieren und warm servieren.
