Anyone who has met me knows that I love to eat. What some of you probably don’t know is that I also enjoy cooking. It is only a recent hobby of mine so who knows, it might not last. But until the novelty of my own confections wears off, I’m going to post picturs of the results. My most recent culinary adventure was the making of a Zucchini and Ricotta Gallette. You can find the recipe at the Smitten Kitchen (I highly recommend that you check it out).
In spite of my best efforts to ruin it, the galette turned out. My best efforts amounted to an extra 1/4 cup of water to the dough, I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t even figure out the problem- Colleen did.
Most of my problems were dough-related. Everything else came together nicely. Although if I had found a wrong way to slice zucchinis, mix cheese, and add garlic to olive oil, I think the next step might have been to sell all of my cookware.
Like I said, I mixed and chopped everything while my dough was setting in the fridge. I rolled it out, mixed the cheese and even took the time to arrange the beautiful yellow and green zucchini in concentric circles. It was ready! All I needed to do was get it in the oven… That’s when I discovered the flaw in my plan. Getting the galette from the counter to the oven!
When I rolled out the dough, I neglected to put anything underneath it. So I had to take off all the zucchini in order to lift it without ruining it. Thankfully Cee was on hand to help me out with that very delicate task. It was dicey, but in the end it turned out perfectly.
