Unlike more refined tarts or pies, a galette is freeform, meaning it’s shaped by hand, giving it a charming, imperfect look.

The chorizo lends a spiced, meaty richness, while the shallots add a delicate sweetness that balances out the dish.

The galette can be enjoyed as a main dish or a hearty appetiser, perfect for sharing at a casual dinner.

This quick and easy galette with shallots and chorizo serves as an impressive starter for six or as a light lunch.

How To Make A Chorizo And Shallot Galette:

Making your own Chorizo and Shallot Galette at home allows you to tailor the flavours to your and your guest liking. You can always change the topping or add gluten-free pastry.

Also, mixing it up can means choosing a milder or spicier chorizo, or adding other complementary ingredients like cheese, herbs, or vegetables.

Homemade galettes also offer the satisfaction of creating something from scratch, from the hand-rolled dough to the carefully arranged filling.

By making it yourself, you ensure that every bite is fresh and packed with flavour, free from preservatives or artificial ingredients.

Plus, the rustic nature of a galette means it’s forgiving to make, even for those who might not consider themselves expert bakers.

Serves: 6

Preparation time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 40 minutes

You’ll Need:

• 100g cooking chorizo, sliced
• 8 shallots, quartered
• 1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry
• 2 roast peppers, sliced, from a jar is fine
• 125g mozzarella, torn into pieces
• 1 egg, beaten
• Basil leaves to serve

How To Make A Chorizo And Shallot Galette:

What To Do:

1. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/Gas 7.
2. Cook the chorizo in a frying pan until crisp on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce the heat and cook the shallots gently while you put together the rest of the tart. Don’t over brown the chorizo and shallots as they will continue to cook in the oven.
3. Unroll the pastry and gently pull out the long sides and trim off the corners so it becomes more circular. Lay it on a non-stick baking tray.
4. Leaving a 3cm border of pastry clear, fork lots of small holes in the centre area of the pastry then scatter with the chorizo, pepper, chunks of mozzarella and finally the shallots. Carefully fold the edges of the pastry up to slightly overlap the edges of the filling. Brush the crust with egg wash and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is crisp and puffed up and the filling is dry and browned.
5. When ready to serve scatter with basil leaves.
