Leek & mushroom galettes Serves 4 with ‘cheesy’ pastry

Leek & mushroom galettes with ‘cheesy’ pastry

Gorgeous and plant-based, these galettes are simpler than you think. Nutritional yeast is a great umami-heavy vegan dupe for parmesan.

Ingredients

  • tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Essential Leek, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 250g pack chestnut mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
  • Few sprigs thyme or tarragon, plus more to serve 
  • ½ x 320g pack Jus-Rol Shortcrust Pastry Sheet 
  • 115g Philadelphia Plant Based with Almond & Oat 
  • ½ tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • ½ tbsp Marigold Engevita Yeast Flakes
  • 290g pack leafy rainbow salad 
  • ½ lemon. juice

Method

  1. Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Stir in the leek with a pinch of salt. Fry, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes until starting to soften. Turn the heat up, add the mushrooms with 1 tbsp oil and cook until starting to brown and most of the liquid has evaporated, 10-12 minutes. Add the garlic and leaves from a few sprigs of thyme or some chopped tarragon, stir for 1 minute, then spread over a large plate and allow to cool to room temperature.

  2. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6 and put a large baking sheet in to heat up. Unroll the pastry, keeping the paper it came on. Cut the pastry sheet in half on a lightly floured surface, fold in the corners of each piece, then roll into rough circles 23cm across. Return to the paper.

  3. Tip the mushroom mix into a sieve, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using the back of a spoon. Mix well in a bowl with 100g Philadelphia, the mustard and some seasoning.

  4. Spread the mix over the pastry circles, leaving a border of about 3cm. Fold, gather and press the pastry border over the filling to secure it. Loosen the remaining Philadelphia with 1 tsp water, brush over the pastry and sprinkle with the nutritional yeast. Carefully slide the galettes onto the hot baking tray, on the paper, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Scatter the tops with more thyme or tarragon, then serve with the salad, dressed with the remaining oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Cook’s tip

If you don’t need this to be vegan, any full fat soft cheese will be fine in the filling, and you can use parmesan or grated mature Cheddar for sprinkling.
