Wild Mushroom Galette with Kimchi Furikake

Yields: 2

Preparation time: 20 mins

Cooking time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled shortcrust or puff pastry
  • 200g mixed wild mushrooms (porcini, morel, shiitake, chestnut)
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp crème fraîche or cream cheese
  • 50g parmesan or gruyère, grated
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh thyme or tarragon
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1-2 tsp Kimchi Furikake seasoning (or regular furikake)
  • Chilli flakes to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment.
  • Tear or roughly chop the mushrooms. Melt butter and oil in a pan over high heat and cook the mushrooms without stirring for 3-4 minutes until golden. Add garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Lay the pastry sheet on the lined tray. Spread crème fraîche in the centre, leaving a 4cm border all around. Scatter the grated cheese over the cream.
  • Pile the mushrooms evenly over the cheese layer.
  • Fold the pastry edges up and over the filling, overlapping as you go to form a rough galette shape. Press gently to seal. Brush the pastry border with beaten egg.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp and the mushrooms are deeply coloured.
  • As soon as it comes out of the oven, scatter generously with Kimchi Furikake seasoning and a pinch of chilli flakes. The umami-rich furikake takes this galette somewhere unexpected. Serve warm.
