Ingredients

For the Pastry:

• 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup ice water

For the Filling:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion, finely diced
• 4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly diced
• 1 teaspoon chopped thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
• 1 teaspoon chopped tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried
• 1 tablespoon chopped dill or 1 teaspoon dried
• 6 cups thinly sliced cabbage, preferably Savoy, or 4 cups cabbage plus 2 cups other greens (beet, chard, kale)
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 hard-cooked egg, chopped
• 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt
• 1 teaspoon tarragon vinegar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Horseradish Sauce:

• 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
• 1 cup yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

Step 1: Crafting the Pastry

Begin by mixing flour and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, place the butter and chill both bowls in the freezer for 1 hour. When ready, create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add chilled butter into the well and blend using a pastry cutter until resembling coarse crumbs. Make another well and combine sour cream, lemon juice, and ice water in a small bowl. Pour half into the dry mixture and stir until clumps form. Repeat with remaining liquid. Gently bring the dough together into a ball, avoiding over-kneading. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 2: Preparing the Filling

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, mushrooms, and herbs, sautéing until softened, approximately 10 minutes. Stir in cabbage, salt, and 1/2 cup water, covering the skillet. Let it simmer until the cabbage is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, add more water. Once tender, uncover and cook on higher heat to evaporate excess moisture. Stir in parsley, chopped egg, and sour cream. Adjust seasoning with tarragon vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Assembling the Galette

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll out the pastry into a large, thin circle and place it on the back of a baking sheet. Leave the edges hanging over. Spoon the filling in the center, forming a mound about 7 to 8 inches wide. Fold the edges over the filling, and brush the crust with melted butter. Pour the remaining butter into the vegetable mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Simultaneously, mix horseradish with yogurt or sour cream to create the sauce, seasoning to your preference. Once the galette is ready, carefully slide it onto a serving plate and enjoy it alongside the zesty horseradish sauce!
