Preparation

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
