Ingredients
For the pastry:
120g plain flour
120g wholemeal flour
1 tsp salt
80g Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil
60-90ml water
For the butternut:
600g butternut squash, cut into rounds (approximately 1 small squash)
1-2 tbsp Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil
Salt
Pepper
1 tsp garlic granules
For the filling:
2 onions, sliced
Salt
Pepper
Handful of fresh sage leaves, chopped (if using dried sage, use 2 tsp)
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
180g cream cheese
1 tbsp mango chutney
Method
Preheat oven to 190°C. Put a baking tray in the oven to get hot too.
First, make your pastry. To a large mixing bowl, add your plain flour, wholemeal flour and salt. Mix together. Pour in your Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil and stir to combine. Use your hands to rub into a breadcrumb-like texture. Pour in half of your water and use your hands to form a ball of dough, adding more water as necessary until the dough comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge while you make your galette filling.
Peel your butternut squash and cut into 1cm thick rounds. Place the butternut squash in a roasting dish, drizzle with Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic granules. Roast for 30 mins, turning halfway through cooking.
To make the cream cheese filling, slowly fry your sliced onions in a little Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, until they are starting to caramelise. Add your crushed garlic and chopped sage and fry for a few minutes further. Remove from the heat and stir in your cream cheese.
To assemble your galette, roll out your pastry on a sheet of baking paper to 3-5mm thick. Spread your cream cheese filling over the pastry, leaving approximately a 5cm gap around the edge. Top with your roasted butternut squash slices, fold the pastry up and over the edge of the filling and brush the butternut squash with mango chutney.
Transfer your galette to the hot baking tray in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.
