About this chorizo and zucchini galette

I love making this zucchini galette not just in the summer when zucchini is in season but also all throughout the year. It is really delicious.

Usually, most people (me included) are making a sweet galette but sometimes I like the savory ones too.

Savory galettes are basically like a really easy pizza made with pie crust. When you think of it that way, you can start to experiment more with new toppings.

For this savory zucchini galette recipe, I chose Spanish chorizo and Manchego cheese to pair with the zucchini and it is such a delicious combination of flavors. I kept with a more traditional Spanish theme and I also love all of these ingredients.

Now, Let me show you how easy it is to make!

Ingredients you will need

Zucchini: This is the star of the recipe.
Pie Crust: You can make your own homemade pie crust or use store-bought.
Spanish Chorizo (not Mexican but Spanish. The Spanish chorizo is cured and firm).
Manchego Cheese: This pairs really well with the Spanish chorizo.
Olive oil: Any variety will work.
Salt and pepper.

You only need to do a little prep work to get the toppings ready for the galette before it goes into the oven and the rest is waiting for it to bake up all golden brown.

How to make

This Spanish-style zucchini galette is really easy to make. Here is what you do (full recipe below):

A sheet of pastry dough on a baking sheet.

Prepare zucchini: Slice your zucchini and lightly pan fry in olive oil with a little salt and pepper. The zucchini needs to be pre-cooked before going on to the pie crust.
Prepare chorizo: Slice up your chorizo into thin rounds and set aside. You can also use pre-sliced Spanish chorizo and just skip this step.
Roll out your dough: Roll out the pie crust and add a little olive oil to it.

A galette with chorizo and zucchini slices on a baking sheet.

Add the toppings: Now add the cooked zucchini and chorizo to the crust.
Add cheese: Sprinkle on that manchego cheese. Make sure to leave a little border on the pie crust.
Fold the edges of your pie crust: You fold the pie crust border inward and press lightly to seal.
Bake.

That is all there is to it! I hope you try out this chorizo and zucchini galette and see that galettes are not just for fruit. Remember to get creative with your toppings and make it your own!

Ingredients

6 ounces Spanish Chorizo sliced thin like pepperoni. If you can find pre-sliced Spanish chorizo in the deli section of the grocery store, this will save you some time!
1 Zucchini sliced into ¼ inch round slices
1 large egg
1 disc of pastry dough/or pie crust
6 ounces Manchego cheese shredded
2 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees
Pre-heat a large saute pan over medium heat.
Add one tablespoon of your olive oil to the pan.
2 tablespoon olive oil
Slice your zucchini into about ¼ inch round slices
1 Zucchini
Now add your zucchini and cook for about 1 minute on each side. You do not need to cook it all the way through since we are just giving it a bit of a pre-cook before it goes into the oven.
Remove zucchini from the pan when done and add it to a large plate. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and set aside.
salt and pepper to taste
Slice up your chorizo and set aside. Your chorizo does not need to pre-cooked and will cook through in the oven.
6 ounces Spanish Chorizo
Roll out your dough. Roll it out to about 16-18 inches making sure the crust is not looking see through.
1 disc of pastry dough/or pie crust
Once your dough is rolled out, place it on a large baking sheet.
Take the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil and add it to the top of your dough and spread it out evenly.
Now add your zucchini and chorizo making sure to mix the ingredients up evenly all over the dough but leaving a one inch border empty around the crust.
Sprinkle your Manchego cheese evenly over the toppings.
6 ounces Manchego cheese
Now fold the outer one inch edge of your crust inwards so that it covers just a little bit of the ingredients.
Brush the folded crust with an egg wash by taking one egg, whipping it and then using a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over the outer crust.
1 large egg
Place in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust starts to turn a nice golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
