How it's done

Pastry dough

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture. Add the water, mix quickly to create a soft dough (do not knead), cover and chill for approx. 30 mins.

Spinach mixture

Heat the butter in a wide pan. Add the garlic, sauté for approx. 2 mins. Add the spinach and allow to wilt, season with salt. Add the cottage cheese, mix.

To shape

Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll out each portion into a circle (approx. 12 cm in diameter) between two sheets of baking paper or on a lightly floured surface. Place the circles on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spread the spinach mixture on top of the dough circles, leaving approx. 3 cm free around the edges. Fold in the edges of the dough.

To bake

Approx. 30 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 200 °C. Remove, allow to cool slightly.

Salad

In a bowl, mix the oil with all the other ingredients up to and including the pepper. Add the spinach, basil and pine nuts, mix, spread on top of the galettes.
