Savory Buckwheat Galette (Galette de Sarrasin)

Ingredients

• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1.5 cups water
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 cup mushrooms
• 2 cups spinach
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of buckwheat flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

2. 2

   Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups of water until the batter is smooth. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   While the batter rests, prepare the filling. Chop 1 medium zucchini, 1 cup of mushrooms, and 2 cloves of garlic.

4. 4

   In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the chopped zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

6. 6

   Stir in 2 cups of spinach and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Season with 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

7. 7

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with olive oil.

8. 8

   Pour 1/2 cup of the rested batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden.

9. 9

   Flip the galette and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.

10. 10

    Remove the galette from the skillet and fill the center with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Fold the edges over to enclose the filling.

11. 11

    Repeat steps 8-10 for the remaining batter and filling.

12. 12

    Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
