“A galette is a savoury or sweet free-form pie that is easy to assemble, requires minimal technique and is very forgiving for those (like us!) without pastry skills. You can fill a galette with nearly any damn thing you like. We love mushrooms in autumn, tomatoes in summer and, of course, silverbeet in winter.” This is an edited extract from Use It All by Alex Elliott-Howery and Jaimee Edwards (Murdoch Books, $39.99).

3 cups (350g) sauteéed silverbeet
Milk or 1 egg, beaten
Olive oil, to drizzle
Chopped parsley & dill, to serve

Sour cream pastry

1 2/3 cups (250g) plain flour, plus extra to dust
1 tsp salt
200g cold butter, roughly chopped
120g sour cream

Method

1.

For the sour cream pastry, combine the flour and salt in a food processor, then add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Add the sour cream and pulse until the mixture forms a dough ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and set aside in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
2.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured workbench to a 40cm circle. Transfer the dough circle to a large lined baking tray. Spread the sauteed silverbeet over the dough, leaving a 5cm border. Fold the edges over to partially enclose the filling, overlapping the dough as needed. Brush the dough with milk or beaten egg, then bake the galette for 35-45 minutes or until golden. Drizzle olive oil over the top, finish with chopped herbs and serve.
