Irkotta and broad bean galette
2025-05-23

Ingredients
For the filling
3 spring onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
200g peeled fresh or frozen broad beans
500g irkotta (Benna)
2 heaped tbsp. grated Parmesan
Salt and pepper to taste
2 egg, beaten
2 tbsp chopped mint and basil
1 pre-rolled shortcrust pastry (round)
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Extra herb leaves for serving
Method
Start by making the filling. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the spring onions and garlic for 3 minutes to soften. Add in the broad beans and cook for a further 2 minutes. Next, place the irkotta into a large bowl and break with a fork. Add in the grated Parmesan, beaten eggs, mint and basil and the cooked onion mixture and mix together well. Unroll the short crust pastry and place onto a baking sheet lined with nonstick baking paper. Brush the edges with water and spoon the filling into the middle, leaving a 3cm around all around. Carefully fold in, pleating as you go along. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and bake in the oven at 200c for 30-35 minutes. Serve hot cut into slices with extra herbs on top.
