Sonia Peronaci, founder of the nationally renowned website Giallo Zafferano, cook, writer and blogger has decided to delight her fans and all of us with the preparation of a mouth-watering recipe, the savory galette!
And guess what?
The protagonist in the making and for the final touch was our Veneto Valpolicella DOP extra virgin olive oil.
Sonia’s recipe is the perfect preparation whenever you want to bring the color and scent of summer to the table. An aperitif where the flaky scent of brisé pastry joins the unmistakable sweet taste of caramelized onion, the decisive taste of goat cheese and the freshness of cherry tomatoes.
But you know, a filling of this caliber must be accompanied by an equally high-quality extra virgin olive oil and, precisely for this reason, Sonia has decided to use a tasty and pleasantly aromatic olive oil like our Veneto Valpolicella DOP extra virgin olive oil in her recipe.

If you feel like Sonia, expert cooks, then we leave you more precise indications on the preparation of homemade shortcrust pastry. You can consult her personal guide to discover all the tricks and make a great impression on your aperitif.
If, on the other hand, you feel a little lazy or simply afraid that Sonia’s recipe won’t come out like the original, then you have our (and hers) permission to buy the brisée or puff pastry packaged and ready to use.
Clean the onions and slice them into very thin wedges.
In a large-bottomed non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of Veneto Valpolicella DOP oil and add the onions, sprinkle them with brown sugar and salt, cover and leave to dry on low heat for about 10 minutes.
Deglaze with the vinegar and let it evaporate completely without a lid. Remove the onions from the pan and let them cool in a bowl.
In a bowl, mash the crescenza with a fork, add the thyme and mix until a smooth cream is obtained. Season with pepper and mix again. No need to add salt.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and put them in a bowl together with the basil leaves finely cut into julienne strips.
Sprinkle them with a drizzle of Veneto Valpolicella DOP extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt, mix everything together and set aside.

The savory galette is a recipe designed to be eaten immediately or in any case freshly taken out of the oven, so that the shortcrust pastry is able to maintain its natural fragrance. In fact, we do not recommend keeping it for a long time but enjoying it fully (and all) during an aperitif with friends or a family dinner.
You can indulge yourself as you like with the filling, use your imagination and satisfy your food cravings. The recipe for Sonia Peronaci’s savory galette is in fact very versatile and lends itself well to various ingredients of Mediterranean cuisine and beyond. To mention a few and give you some ideas, we could say zucchini, potatoes and scamorza or radicchio and taleggio fondue…
Whatever combination you want to make, remember that for the success of this recipe you will always need an accompaniment with a quality and prestigious extra virgin olive oil. In this case the protagonist was our Veneto Valpolicella DOP but the range of our extra virgin olive oil is wide and varied, you just need to choose the Bonamini extra virgin olive oil that best matches and suits your recipe (and that of Sonia Peronaci) .
