This is a recipe from Smitten Kitchen’s new cookbook. \u00a0I found the dough a bit thick but the flavors excellent. \u00a0The next time I make this I may try using the “DuFour” puff pastry dough instead. \u00a0This is a perfect winter lunch, appetizer or dinner! \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
PASTRY INGREDIENTS:
\n\u2022 1 \u00bc cups all-purpose flour
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00bc teaspoon salt
\n\u2022 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into\u2028pieces
\n\u2022 \u2028\u00bc cup sour cream
\n\u2022 \u20282 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
\n\u2022 \u2028\u00bc cup ice water<\/p>\n
FILLING INGREDIENTS:
\n\u2022 1 small butternut squash (about one pound)
\n\u2022 2 tablespoons olive oil
\n\u2022 \u20281 to 2 tablespoons butter (if you have only non-stick, the smaller amount will do)
\n\u2022 \u20281 large onion, halved and thinly sliced in half-moons
\n\u2022 1 teaspoon salt
\n\u2022 \u2028Pinch of sugar
\n\u2022 \u2028\u00bc teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
\n\u2022 \u2028\u00be cup fontina cheese (about 2 1\/2 ounces), grated or cut into small bits
\n\u2022 \u20281 \u00bd teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
DIRECTIONS:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make pastry: In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Place the butter in another bowl. Place both bowls in the freezer for 1 hour. Remove the bowls from the freezer and make a well in the center of the flour. Add the butter to the well and, using a pastry blender, cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make another well in the center. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lemon juice and water and add half of this mixture to the well. With your fingertips, mix in the liquid until large lumps form. Remove the large lumps and repeat with the remaining liquid and flour-butter mixture. Pat the lumps into a ball; do not overwork the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Prepare squash: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Peel squash, then halve and scoop out seeds. Cut into a 1\/2-inch dice. Toss pieces with olive oil and a half-teaspoon of the salt and roast on foil lined (for neatness sake) sheet for 30 minutes or until pieces are tender, turning it midway if your oven bakes unevenly. Set aside to cool slightly.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Caramelize onions: While squash is roasting, melt butter in a heavy skillet and cook onion over low heat with the remaining half-teaspoon of salt and pinch of sugar, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in cayenne.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Mix squash, caramelized onions, cheese and herbs together in a bowl.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Assemble galette: On a floured work surface, roll the dough out into a 12-inch round. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Spread squash, onions, cheese and herb mixture over the dough, leaving a 1 1\/2-inch border. Fold the border over the squash, onion and cheese mixture, pleating the edge to make it fit. The center will be open.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Bake until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, then slide the galette onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature. Serves 6.<\/p>\n
