Sweet red and green peppers sautéed with garlic and onions form the heart of this mixed peppers and onion galette, offering a straightforward approach to a rustic tart. The filling is anchored by a layer of tomato paste that brings a concentrated depth, balancing the natural sugars of the charred peppers against a crisp, thyme-infused pastry crust.
Using a mix of yogurt and cold butter in the dough creates a tender, flaky texture that holds up well against the softened vegetable filling. Because the pastry is folded into a free-form shape rather than pressed into a formal tin, it maintains a casual, unpretentious presentation that works just as well for a weeknight supper as it does for a weekend brunch.
Served warm or at room temperature, this tart highlights the contrast between the buttery, herb-flecked crust and the softened, savory vegetables. It is a practical way to use up seasonal peppers and pairs easily with a simple green salad or a light soup for a balanced meal.
