Sweet Potato Beet and Apple Galette

The recipe looked good as a picture. I started to read it and thought: taste wise bland and boring.

I took the challenge and made a very tasty kind of galette with the basic ingredients and a couple of tricks. I often stumble across recipes that are leaving a bland taste on my tongue and I start adding to them in my mind. The 5 tastes of sour, salty, sweet, hot and umami should be tackled in a dish. At least a couple of them. There are so many people who do not trust their senses to season up to the max. Often food is lacking salt or sourness. Just a pinch of more salt or a drop of citrus helps so many dishes.

Sweet Potatoes are not my absolute favourite veggie. I like them as fries, as "toast", as "buns" for burgers and sometimes just eat them raw. In combination with other veggies, they go well.

recipe for 1 Galette:

1 roll ready made shortcrust pastry

1 apple, 1 pre cooked red beet, 1 small sweet potato, 1 spring onion

150 g Spundekäs or cream cheese with paprika and onions, 50 g regular cream cheese

25 g roasted hazelnuts, 1 spring majoram, 1 sprig rosemarie

2 tsp ginger syrup, chocolate salt, szechuan pepper mix, pepper

Heat up the oven 200 C.

Roll out the dough and spread the cheese on top in a circle. season the cheese.

Slice apple, red beet and sweet potato in thin slices. Put the sweet potatoes in a microwavable dish with a dash of water and heat it up at 800 Watts for 2 min. If you do not have one, just boil them for 2 min.

Make a circle, season, sprinkle onion and herbs on top. splash the ginger syrup around and put it in the oven for 15 min.

Let it rest 5 min before serving.
