Rich, crumbly pastry spread with a creamy white bean base, earthy roasted beetroot, caramelised onion pieces and topped with sweet, sticky balsamic glaze and fresh thyme. Yes, this is certainly more complicated than my last recipe that involved only 3 ingredients and 3 minutes, but I am a big believer in making the effort to spend more time in the kitchen when you can. In my mind there is equal virtue in the 5 minute throw together feed and the 5 hour slow cooked meal, it all depends on where you're at each day. Life's all about balance.

There is something deeply satisfying about spending a couple of hours cooking up a special meal and enjoying it with company every now and then. Plus, there’s my favourite old rule - ‘I cook, you clean’. This particularly comes in handy for recipes like this one which will see you use almost every piece of kitchen equipment you own. But trust me - it’s more than worth it.

The earthy roasted beetroot flavour in this galette combines perfectly with a creamy white bean base, chunks of caramelised red onion and sweet, sticky balsamic glaze. The pastry is a delicious combination of roasted seeds blended together with a little ground oats and buckwheat flour. The result is a rich, buttery crust that doesn’t require any added oils (or butter!) as the moisture comes from the roasted seeds. 

This is a recipe to set aside a weekend for, invite a group of friends over, and have them do the washing up. Yes, it has a few steps but there is nothing tricky in here, just a small investment of time for some serious rewards for your taste buds.
