Heirloom Tomato and Red Fife Galette
I hate it when people apologize for not posting regularly. And yet, here I am ... in the same position. I haven't posted in a while. A long while for me. Let's not consider this an apology but merely an explanation.
I'll give you the full run-down shortly via it's own post but we spent the last few days travelling to/from and hanging in and around Montreal. It's a favourite of mine. I lived there for so many years it feels like home. The kids and I decided to go because D was off to Germany to perform in a festival and we were back here kicking around. It seemed like the right thing to do. I was fully prepared to post while I was there. I had the food prepared, I had the pictures ready... I was taking pictures. However, I just assume that the matrix is always there, around us, easy to plug into and out of. Not the case always.
Let's just say that if you're not in your own space, if you have two kids that aren't exactly ok with their parent sitting in an internet cafe for an hour at a time, if you are enjoying leisurely dinners with extended family, if you are taking walks around quiet little islands, if you are driving for 6 hours at a stretch... then getting a post out gets, well, challenging. I did not rise to the challenge.
I hope that it doesn't happen again because I had so much to tell you. Things like:
This is quite possibly the biggest tomato I have seen in my life.
This is most definitely the only tomato I've encountered that is multi-coloured on the inside.
Goat cheese is amazing stuff. End of.
Too much tomato is never ever a bad thing. It's uses are endless. I could probably get a whole jar of salsa from this one tomato but I couldn't bear to do anything to it that would mess with it's beauty. It is just simply beautiful. The taste is incredible. It was even better roasted, with some thick green onion and goat cheese nestled in there. I would eat this warm or cold. A beautiful lunch with some greens on the side. A lovely picnic choice. Or a fantastic seasonal 'thank you' gift to your hosts ;-)
Heirloom Tomato and Red Fife Galette adapted from '20somethingcupcakes'
serves 4 - 6
3 cups (or so) sliced fresh tomato (not too thick but keep the slices as uniform as possible)
1 cup chevre (goat cheese)
1/2 cup green onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly chopped
salt
pepper
drizzle of olive oil
Crust:
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup red fife flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
2 tbsp sour cream or plain yogurt
2 - 4 tbsp cold water
Combine the flours and the salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until it forms crumbly looking little balls. Add in the sour cream/yogurt and 2 tbsp of the water. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix enough for everything to form a cohesive ball. If you need the extra water then add it in. Chill if you need to (cover with clingfilm or something) but don't chill for long (15 - 20 minutes is more than enough) or give it lots of time out of the fridge before you roll it.
Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8th of an inch thickness uniformly.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet (I used a round pizza sheet) with parchment or some kind of non-stick thing.
place the rolled dough onto the parchment.
Using about half of the goat cheese place in little tsp sized amounts over the dough, leave about 2 inches free at the edges.
Place the tomato slices over the goat cheese, overlap the slices as needed.
Add the remaining goat cheese in little tsp sized amounts over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the green onion and fresh basil.
Fold up the edges of the dough just over the filling. Crimp and overlap as needed but it should be rustic looking. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the top.
Bake for about 35 - 40 minutes. The dough should look slightly golden at the edges and the tomato should be nicely roasted.
Cool for about 15 minutes or eat at room temperature later... or eat cold. Your choice.

Did you bring red fife flour with you? This looks mouth wateringly amazing!
I made it before I left and Simon and Madeleine are enjoying it as we speak (along with some homemade banana bread). I really wanted to take a slice but it would have been rude, unfortunately.
