Makes: 25-30
GALETTE BASE
100g shelled pistachios
100g sunflower or pumpkin seeds
100g vacuum-packed chestnuts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 lemon, zest
small bunch thyme, leaves picked
SQUASH AND GOATS’ CHEESE TOPPING
1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2cm pieces
drizzle olive oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
good pinch chilli powder
1 heaped tsp fennel seeds
125g vegetarian goats’ cheese
4 Peppadew mild piquante peppers, finely chopped
small bunch mint, leaves picked, finely chopped if large
1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C, gas mark 6. Put the nuts and seeds on a baking tray and roast for 5 minutes. Put in a food processor with the remaining ingredients and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Whizz until you have a fine, crumbly paste that comes together when you squeeze it. If it is too crumbly, add a touch more oil.
2. Lay a sheet of baking parchment on the work surface, then tip out the paste and shape into a rough circle with your hands. Put another sheet of parchment on top and roll it out with a rolling pin into a large circle about 0.5cm thick. Use a 5cm pastry cutter to cut out as many rounds as you can, re-rolling the remainder again and again until you have used it all up.
3. Transfer the galettes, on their parchment, to a baking tray and prick each base with a fork. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until golden around the edges, then set aside to cool.
SQUASH AND GOATS’ CHEESE TOPPING
Put the squash on a tray with a good drizzle of oil and the spices; season and roast for 25-30 minutes, until soft and browning at the edges. (This can be done ahead of time.) When you are ready to eat, reheat the squash if necessary and mash. Spoon a little onto each galette and top with some of the cheese, peppers and mint.
