This is a roasted root vegetable, and leek galette; served with sautéed kale, garlic, toasted pine nuts and lemon juice.. I made this galette for the first time two weeks ago. But the vegan pastry was a miss, so back to the drawing board. Turns out; using coconut oil as the fat component (when making pastry) is NOT a winner!
This galette used a spelt flour and vegan butter recipe. (Tweaked from my last effort).
Why is pie-making such a happy craft?! (that’s vegan cheese on the top)..

For the filling:
quater of a pumpkin, cut into pieces and roasted
roasted sweet potato (cut into cubes of some description before roasting)
sliced leeks, sauteed on both sides till caramelised.
freshly ground black pepper
Once the pastry is rolled out, spread the vegetables over the pastry and sprinkle liberally with the pepper. Leave a small area free on the outside so that you can roll the pastry inwards towards the centre to form your galette. Transfer your pie onto a baking tray or baking dish that fits size-wise.
Bake at 200 degrees Celcius for 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it to check that the pastry is browning.
I have added vegan cheese once the galette is removed from the oven. Plus toasted pinenuts.
But work with what you have in your pantry.
I have served the galette with wilted kale which I have sauteed quickly with sliced garlic and a squirt of lemon juice.
Yummmmmy!
