Description
In France, a galette is a main-course crepe made with buckwheat flour, which gives it a delicious nutty flavour. They are perfect with savoury fillings and are often served for lunch.
Method
To prepare the galettes, place the buckwheat flour, plain flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, eggs and butter. Whisk vigorously until the batter is completely smooth. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Melt a small amount of butter in a crepe pan or non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add just enough batter to the pan so that when you swirl it, it covers the bottom of the pan thinly with the batter. Cook the crepe until it is golden underneath then flip and cook the other side. Transfer to a plate to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To prepare the filling, heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and cook gently over medium-low heat until soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the chicken and parsley and heat gently until the mixture is warmed through.
MAKES APPROXIMATELY 10 GALETTES
