Vegan Tomato Galette

This vegan tomato galette is definitely a new favourite! It’s super simple to make, easily customisable and ready in no time.

How to make this vegan tomato galette

Which dough to use

To save time, you can get fresh pie/galette dough at most supermarkets. Just make sure it’s vegan. If you’d like to make it from scratch, try this recipe and replace the butter with vegan butter.

Make a pesto for the base

A flavourful base is crucial for this vegan tomato galette. You can choose between using a store-bought pesto or making your own (which I prefer). If you want to make your own, try the recipe below:

Ingredients:

• 100g sundried tomatoes in oil
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
• 1 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Pinch of pepper
• 1-2 tbsp water to loosen

Method:

1. Add all ingredients except for the oil and water to a food processor.
2. Start processing and pour in olive oil while running. Add 1-2 tbsp water for a smoother texture. Season with salt to taste.

Get creative with the toppings

I love using a bright and colourful mix of cherry tomato varieties for the topping. However, feel free to get creative and use seasonal produce or veggies you already have at home.

A favourite for every season

This vegan tomato galette is a year-round favourite, bursting with flavour. We love this dish because it’s:

• Easy: it takes no time to prep and only a few ingredients are required
• Flexible: you can easily adapt this recipe to use vegetables you already have at home. Simply replace the tomatoes with courgette, aubergine or other veggies and adjust the time in the oven if needed
• Perfectly delicious: The combination of sundried tomatoes, Italian herbs, garlic and fresh basil is simply delightful.
