Leek & mushroom galettes Serves 4 with ‘cheesy’ pastry

Nutritional yeast adds an umami flavour when sprinkled over pastry, making it a great vegan dupe for Cheddar or parmesan.

Ingredients

  • tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Essential Leek, thinly sliced
  • 250g pack chestnut mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
  • Few sprigs thyme, leaves picked
  • ½ x 500g Jus-Rol Shortcrust Pastry Block
  • ½ x 200ml tub Oatly! Creamy Oat Fraiche, plus 1 tbsp
  • ½ tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • ½ tbsp Marigold Engevita Yeast Flakes
  • 285g Waitrose Rainbow Salad

Method

  1. Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Stir in the leeks with a pinch of salt. Fry, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes until starting to soften.

  2. 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 thyme, stir for 1 minute, then spread over a large plate and allow to cool to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6 and put a baking sheet in to heat up.

  3. Meanwhile, shape the pastry into 2 equal balls. On individual sheets of baking parchment, roll into rough circles 2-3mm thick and 25cm across. Tip the cooled mushroom mixture into a sieve and use the back of a spoon to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Mix in a bowl with the oat fraiche, mustard and seasoning.

  4. Spread the mix over the pastry circles, leaving a border of approx 3cm. Fold, gather and press the pastry border over the filling to secure it well (see tip). Loosen the remaining 1 tbsp oat fraiche with a drop of water, brush over the pastry and sprinkle with the nutritional yeast. Carefully move to the hot baking tray, still on the paper, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Serve with the salad, dressed with the remaining 1 tbsp oil.

Cook’s tip

Squeezing out the excess liquid from the mushroom and leek mixture is an essential step and will help to prevent a soggy bottom.

Take extra care to pinch the pastry folds together so that the pastry isn’t too much thicker in these places to ensure even cooking.
