FORFEIT WHEAT FOR FOUR FIT FATS
A galette is a great way to add a good bunch of vegetables into a meal. This style of pastry has a rustic homemade charm, which also translates into hard to mess up! Our pastry recipe is wheat-free and instead combines ground almonds, coconut flour, butter and eggs, all healthy fats, which are essential to absorb vitamins like A, D, E and K that are fat-soluble.
A great way to use up any random leftover vegetables, or alternatively make a special pie from scratch.
