Cooking with the kids

This morning my 14 year old needed to make a galette to take to French class.  He's loves French and has a super great teacher.  He prepped the ingredients last night and asked me to wake him at 5:45 this morning.  His sister came down while he was making it and wanted to help some.  (I only had to show him where stuff was and maybe what utensil to use...didn't have to help much at all.)  What a fun morning of French food making we had.  

 

 

I didn't get to sample the galette before he headed out the door, but it sure looked tasty.  He'll let us know how it tastes and what his classmates thought.  If they liked it, I plan to make it for our family for dinner one night.  (Actually, I'll have Thomas make it for us since he already knows how.)  I'll probably serve it with a big green salad.  It's super easy.

 

 

Mediterranean Galette

Ingredients:

1 package of puff pastry sheets
1 egg,Beaten with 1 tsp water

1(6.5-ounce) packages of Alouette Sundried tomato
1/3 cup diced red peppers
1/3 cup sliced black olives
1/3 cup crumbled cooked Italian sausage*

Roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry into a 10" square. Using a dinner plate as a guide, cut out one 10" circle. Place it on a ungreased baking sheet.
Brush the edges of the circle with the beaten egg mixture. Spread the Alouette to within 1" of the edge.

Sprinkle with the peppers and olives and sausage.

Roll out remaining sheet of puff pastry in the same manner. Make a small hole in the center of the pastry, about 1-1/2" ( can use a very small cookie cutter)

Place the pastry on top of the Galette align the edges and press to seal using a fork.

Brush the entire Galette with the remaining egg wash. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.



* May substitute crab, shrimp or pre cooked chicken in place of the sausage.
