Preparation
-
1.In a mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, water, and salt. Stir until well combined and let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
-
2.Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
3.In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
4.While the onions are caramelizing, heat a large non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the buckwheat batter onto the skillet and spread it into a thin, round shape using the back of a spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the galette is crispy and golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
-
5.To assemble the galette-saucisse, place a cooked sausage on each galette and top with a generous amount of caramelized onions. Drizzle with Dijon mustard.
-
6.Roll the galette tightly around the sausage, securing it with a toothpick if needed. Serve warm.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Buckwheat flour — Make sure to let the batter rest for 30 minutes before cooking the galettes. This allows the flour to hydrate and results in a better texture.
- Sausages — Choose your preferred variety of sausages, such as pork, chicken, or turkey. Grill or cook them until they are fully cooked and browned for the best flavor.
- Onions — Slice the onions thinly for even caramelization. Cook them slowly over low heat to achieve a deep golden color and sweet flavor.
- Dijon mustard — Use a good quality Dijon mustard for the best taste. Adjust the amount according to your preference for tanginess.
Tips & Tricks
- If you prefer a milder onion flavor, you can use yellow onions instead of red onions for caramelizing.
- Experiment with different types of sausages to find your favorite flavor combination.
- For a smoky twist, grill the sausages instead of cooking them on the stovetop.
- Serve the galette-saucisse with a side of mixed greens or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- If you don't have buckwheat flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour, although the traditional flavor and texture will be slightly different.
Serving advice
Serve the Galette-saucisse warm, either as a handheld street food option or plated with a side salad. Remove the toothpick before serving.
Presentation advice
For an appealing presentation, place the Galette-saucisse on a wooden board or a rustic plate. Garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color.
