This delicious vegetable galette recipe can be used many different ways. You can serve it as an appetizer or with a side salad for a light lunch or dinner.
For Pastry Dough:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
5 tablespoons cold butter, cut into ½ inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 to 1/2 cup cold ice water
For Topping:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion
3 medium portobello mushrooms, cleaned (approx. 9 ounces) and sliced
2 1/2 ounces baby kale or spinach
1 1/2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a food processor, combine flour, butter, and salt and pulse until a crumbly mixture is formed. Slowly add water (only as much as necessary) until dough is formed in a ball.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into approximately a 12-inch circle.
4. Spray a baking sheet very lightly with cooking spray; place the 12-inch dough circle on it.
5. In a non-stick sauté pan over medium high heat, add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add onion and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes. Add portobello mushrooms and sauté for another 2 minutes. Add kale or spinach and sauté for one minute. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Spoon vegetable mixture onto rolled-out dough, leaving approximately a 3-inch border. Sprinkle cheese on top of vegetable mixture. Fold dough edges so they overlap, and brush crust with remaining 1/2-tablespoon olive oil.
7. Bake for approximately 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
