This recipe is a fantastic way to enjoy the rich, earthy flavors of mushrooms paired with creamy ricotta, all wrapped up in a flaky, golden crust. Plus, it’s gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, and vegetarian, making it a versatile option for various dietary needs.
Why This Galette is a Must-Try
This galette is the perfect blend of gourmet and comfort. It starts with a gluten-free pie crust that’s both tender and crisp, creating the ideal base for the flavorful filling. You can make your own with this recipe for perfect pie crust, or even easier, use store-bought.
The star ingredients are a mix of gourmet mushrooms, including cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, which add a deep umami taste. Sautéed with green onions and garlic, and enhanced with Marukan Lite Seasoned Rice Vinegar, the mushrooms become beautifully caramelized and rich.
The Creamy Ricotta Layer
Underneath those golden mushrooms is a layer of smooth, tangy ricotta cheese. By mixing the ricotta with a bit of Marukan Lite Seasoned Rice Vinegar, it gains a delightful brightness that balances the earthiness of the mushrooms. This creamy layer ensures every bite is luxurious and satisfying.
Perfectly Complemented by Italian Salsa Verde
What takes this galette to the next level is the homemade Italian Salsa Verde. This vibrant, herbaceous sauce is made with fresh basil, Italian parsley, capers, mini gherkins, and anchovies, all blended with Marukan Lite Seasoned Rice Vinegar and olive oil. Drizzle it over each slice to add a fresh, zesty contrast to the rich mushroom and ricotta filling.
Easy Enough for Weeknights, Impressive Enough for Guests
Despite its gourmet flair, this galette is surprisingly easy to make. I love that you can call a galette rustic which is code for the fact that it does not need to be perfect! It’s perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner, yet elegant enough to serve at your next gathering. Here are some serving ideas:
Main Course: Serve it with a simple green salad for a light yet satisfying meal.
Appetizer: Cut it into smaller wedges for a stunning appetizer at your next party.
Brunch: Pair it with some fresh fruit and a glass of white wine or a mimosa for a delightful brunch.
Health Benefits
Not only is this galette delicious, but it’s also packed with nutritious ingredients. Mushrooms are a great source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Ricotta cheese provides a good amount of protein and calcium, while the Italian Salsa Verde adds a dose of healthy fats and fresh herbs.
So, next time you want to impress your guests (or just treat yourself), give this Gourmet Mushroom and Ricotta Galette a try. It’s a beautiful, flavorful dish that I hope will become a favorite in your recipe collection.
