Vegetable & Ricotta Galette
50m
My favorite choice of filling for the salty galette. It has the smokiness, the freshness, and the acidity that go perfectly with the buttery flavor of the base.
All the items that make up this filling can be used separately in other preparations!

Preheat the oven to 210 °C
Unfold a square of roughly 10 inches x 10 inches of puff pastry dough onto a baking tray. Adjust it with your hands if needed
Trim the edges if needed
Pierce the dough with a fork in different spots
Bake the dough for 30m until puffed and deep brown
Slice 4 zucchini lengthwise on a mandoline to 2 mm thick
Roast both sides of the zucchini slices on a heated pan over high heat
Add 3 garlic cloves and ½ cup of capers to a blender
Add extra virgin olive oil enough to blend. Blend on medium speed until almost smooth
Dress the roasted zucchini with the capers and garlic mixture. Let the zucchini sit for 1h to absorb the flavors
Cut the baked puff pastry into 9 squares
Burn 2 eggplants directly on a flame. Rotate them until the peel is completely black
Let the eggplant cool down. Peel and finely mince it
Transfer the eggplant to a container and squeeze ½ lime over it
Add salt and ground pepper to taste. Mix to combine
Break up 300 g of ricotta with a fork. Season with salt to taste
Spread 1 tbsp of the eggplant over the puff pastry. Top it with a handful of the zucchini
Add some pieces of the ricotta and garnish with salt and fresh parsley to taste. The vegetable & ricotta galette is ready
Enjoy!
