Ingredients

Pastry

  • 185 g Wholemeal Spelt Flour
  • 0.25 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 0.5 Tablespoon Milled Flaxseed
  • 30 g Tahini
  • 50 ml Olive Oil

Whipped Tahini

  • 70 g Tahini
  • 2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 Lemon (juiced)

Topping

  • 1 Large Beef Tomato
  • 5 g Marjoram
  • 2 Teaspoon Zaatar
  • 20 g Black Olives

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180C (fan)/(gas mark 4) and line a flat baking tray with parchment.
  • Make up your pastry by first whisking the flour with the salt and flaxseeds, leaving a well in the middle.
  • Next, pour the oil and tahini into the well and mixing to incorporate. Add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water a teaspoon at a time until the pastry forms a smooth ball.
  • Wrap the pastry in a cloth and pop in the fridge to set whilst you get on with making the rest.
  • Make the whipped tahini by adding tahini, garlic, lemon and 60 ml water into a food processor or blender. Blend until you have a smooth, creamy consistency. This will take a few minutes. Once this is whipped, set it aside.
  • Add the sliced tomato, chopped oregano, a pinch of salt & pepper and a glug of olive oil to a bowl and mix. Let this sit whilst you roll out your pastry on your lined tray.
  • Sprinkle over a bit of flour and roll the pastry to in a round, approximately the thickness of a pound coin.
  • Spread the whipped tahini on the centre base of the pastry, leaving a 3 cm ring around the edge. Next, layer the tomatoes on top of the tahini.
  • Fold the edges the pastry edges over to touch the filling and brush with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle over the zaatar over the crust and tomatoes.
  • Put the galette in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.Whilst the galette cooks, heat a small frying pan and add a glug of olive oil. Add the olives to the pan and cook until the edges crisp. Set aside.
  • Your galette is ready when the pastry is golden and the tomatoes are soft with slightly charred edges.
  • Sprinkle over the olives over the galette and serve warm with a summery salad.
