Notes

This pastry, inspired by Donna Hay, is made in minutes and doesn’t have to rest before you use it. In fact, it is best used immediately while still warm as that’s when it’s most pliable. Serves 6.

Spelt pastry galette with mushrooms, asparagus & St Tola goat cheese from Caroline Hennessy at Bibliocook

Ingredients

200 grams
mixed mushrooms (chopped roughly )
2 tablespoons
Olive Oil
 
Salt and Pepper
100 grams
Butter (cut into cubes )
80 milliliters
water
210 grams
spelt flour
  pinch
Salt
3 tablespoons
caramalised onion chutney
150 grams
St Tola Soft Cheese (roughly chopped)
250 grams
Asparagus (trimmed & chopped into 5cm pieces )
5
springs of thyme (leaves picked)
1
Egg (beaten to glaze )

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss mushrooms with olive oil and spread across a baking tray. Season well and roast in oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.

To make the hot water pastry, bring butter and water to the boil in a medium saucepan over a high heat. Remove from the heat, add the flour and salt and mix well. Tip pastry onto a worktop and knead to bring it all together – still warm, it feels deliciously smooth and silky – then roll it out on a large sheet of greaseproof paper into a rough circle, until approximately 30cm across.

Spread carmelised onions in the centre of the pastry, leaving a 2cm border. Sprinkle with goat cheese, asparagus and roasted mushrooms, along with any juices. Drizzle with a little olive oil, then sprinkle with thyme. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, brush the pastry with beaten egg and season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and the fillling bubbling.
