Butternut Squash and Italian Sausage Galette
YumButternut Squash and Italian Sausage Galette: Amazing autumn flavors.
Beautiful autumn colors are everywhere we look. The street markets are full of all sorts of pumpkins which entice us to create as many dishes as possible.
Our family’s favourite is the Butternut Squash and we like using it both in savoury and sweet dishes.
Since I do our weekend shopping on Thursdays, Friday evening is the most beautiful part of the whole week. Then I know that two days of rest are here, and I am so relaxed that inspiration and creativity come pouring out as if it’s Christmas.
This Butternut Squash Galette is the result of one such creative evening: to make it different from the others, I added some poppy seeds to the pastry. When the pastry was done and left in the fridge, I peeled and cut the squash halves into thin slices and boiled them over a medium heat for 3 minutes.
The square shape is not a must. I did it to make a visual change.
