Ingredients
- 75g feta
- 20g soft herbs, chopped (we used basil, parsley and dill)
- Finely grated zest 1 lemon, plus a squeeze of juice
- 1 shallot, finely sliced
- 100g seasonal green veg such as mangetout, peas, broad beans and finely sliced baby courgettes
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
- 320g sheet shortcrust pastry
- 1 medium free-range egg, beaten
- ½ tsp nigella seeds
- 2 tbsp natural yogurt (optional)
- Pinch sumac (optional)
Method
- Put the feta, herbs and lemon zest in a food processor or blender and whizz into a fine green rubble. Put the sliced shallot in a bowl with your vegetables, the oil and a squeeze of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper and mix to coat.
- Heat the oven to 180ºC fan/gas 6 with a large, flat baking sheet inside to heat up.
- Keep the pastry on the sheet of baking paper it comes in and prick the centre with a fork, leaving a border (around 3-5cm) around the outside. Spread the feta mixture over the pricked centre, then lay the sliced vegetables on top. Fold the exposed pastry borders into the centre to create a rustic pleated edge. Brush the pastry edges with egg wash, then sprinkle with the nigella seeds.
- Remove the hot tray from the oven and carefully slide the galette (on the baking paper) onto it, then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry base is cooked through and crisp underneath. Once out of the oven, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, then stir the sumac into the yogurt and serve on the side (if you like).
