Answers: How do I make a caramelized endive galette with bitter greens?

• Caramelized endive and onion galette
• Flaky all-butter pie dough
• Bitter green salad with endive and radicchio
• Chardonnay vinaigrette preparation

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 10 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 6 large Belgian endive
• 2 yellow onion
• fresh thyme
• 2 tsp white wine vinegar
• 2 oz Parmesan cheese
• 1 small radicchio
• 1 shallot
• Dijon mustard
• honey
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large egg
• parsley

What it concludes

• Cutting butter into both half-inch pieces and thin slices gives the pie dough both flaky texture and tenderness.
• Using ice water discourages gluten development in the pastry dough.
• Baking the galette with grated Parmesan cheese underneath the filling adds flavor and texture.
• Pairing a rich, caramelized pastry base with a bright, acidic bitter green salad creates a balanced savory dish.
