We recommend creating this dish in a 25cm cast iron skillet for a perfect shape and mouthwatering results. If you don’t have a skillet you can use an oven-safe 26cm frying pan, or even a large baking tray.
Ingredients:
- 500g mixed heirloom tomatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
- 320g all butter puff pastry sheet (or make your own pastry if you prefer- see below)
- 50g parmesan, grated
- 85g Nduja (optional)
- 12 black pitted olives
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- 6 tbsp runny honey
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 burrata
- Fresh basil leaves, picked and torn
Pastry recipe:
- 225 g plain flour
- 100g cold butter
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
Tip the flour, butter and salt into a food processor and blitz to a breadcrumb consistency. Add the eggs and pulse to a soft dough. Add cold water if the pastry appears dry. Shape into a disk and chill for 20 minutes.
Method:
- Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan)
- Cut the cherry and baby plum tomatoes in half and slice any large tomatoes. Spread out on kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt to draw out excess moisture.
- Unroll the pastry and cut a rough 30cm circle. Carefully lift into the skillet, leaving the excess pastry to fold around the filling.
- Place the tomatoes in a bowl, add the garlic and mix gently.
- Sprinkle the parmesan evenly over the pastry base. Pile the tomatoes on top of the parmesan.
- Using a teaspoon, add blobs of nduja over the tomatoes and scatter with the olives.
- Gently fold the pastry around the tomatoes overlapping the edges to encase the tomatoes.
- Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Put the honey and dried chilli flakes in a small pan and bring to a simmer. Once hot, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain and place in a small bowl.
- Remove the galette from the oven, cool for a few minutes, then place the burrata in the centre.
- Drizzle the burrata with the honey and scatter the galette with torn basil leaves.
