Veg Galette with Green Celebration

A golden, flaky pastry filled with creamy cheese and vibrant spring vegetables, brought to life with Aromi’s Green Celebration spice blend.

🧾 Ingredients

For the pastry:

• 1¼ cups plain flour

• 100g cold butter, cubed

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 3–4 tbsp cold water

Or use 1 sheet of quality shortcrust or puff pastry for ease.

For the filling:

• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

• 1/4 cup cream cheese (or goat’s cheese)

• 1 egg yolk

• 1 tsp Aromi Green Celebration

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 1 tsp lemon zest

Veggies (choose a mix):

• 1/2 cup sliced leeks (sautéed until soft)

• 6–8 asparagus spears, trimmed and halved

• 1/2 zucchini, thinly sliced

• A few cherry tomatoes, halved

• Olive oil

• Optional: chilli flakes, extra herbs

To finish:

• 1 egg (for egg wash)

• Extra Green Celebration to sprinkle on top

🥣 Method

1. Make the pastry (if not using store-bought):
   In a bowl, rub butter into flour and salt until crumbly. Add cold water gradually and mix into a dough. Wrap and chill for 30 mins.

2. Prepare the filling:
   In a small bowl, mix ricotta, cream cheese, egg yolk, Green Celebration, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

3. Roll out pastry:
   On a floured surface, roll the pastry into a rough 25–30cm circle. Transfer to a lined baking tray.

4. Assemble the galette:
   Spread the cheese mixture in the centre, leaving a 4–5cm border. Arrange veggies on top. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Green Celebration.

5. Fold the edges:
   Gently fold the pastry edges over the filling, pleating as you go. Brush the crust with egg wash.

6. Bake:
   Bake at 200°C for 35–40 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly before slicing.

7. Serve:
   Delicious warm or at room temperature, with a simple green salad and a glass of crisp white wine.
