    Source of Recipe


    Food & Wine, march 1994

    List of Ingredients




    6 large leeks, sliced thin (6 cups)
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1 teaspoon fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    salt and pepper
    1 large egg, beaten
    3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
    yeast dough
    1/2 cup softened goat cheese

    Recipe



    In large non-reactive skillet, combine the leeks, butter, thyme and 1/2 cup water, and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the leeks are tender, about 15 minutes. Raise the heat to moderate, add the wine, and cook until almost evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cream, and cook until reduced slightly, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and plenty of pepper. Let cool for 10 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg, stirring the remaining beaten egg and two Tablespoons of the parsley into the leek mixture.

    Preheat the oven to 400ºF. On a slightly floured baking sheet without slides, roll out the Galette dough into a 14" round. Spread the leek filling over the dough, leaving a two inch border. Crumble the goat cheese over the leeks. Fold up and pleat the border of the dough. Brush the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon egg. Bake the galette until the crust is golden, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool for a few minutes. Scatter remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.
