Recipe | Orange and Cardamom Galettes

Iona Bower August 9, 2020

Bring a bit of sunshine to your coffee time or enjoy as a light but sweet pudding in the garden

These pretty orange galettes are super simple to make, with only five ingredients but look so impressive and authentically Spanish. They’re part of our tapas feast in our August issue, with recipes by Kay Prestney, including parma ham and peach bites, garlic prawns, kolokithokeftedes and more.

Serves 4

320g ready rolled puff pastry
3 tbsp marmalade
3 large oranges
1 tsp cardamom seeds
2 tbsp honey

1 Preheat oven to 160C/Fan 140C/ Gas 3. Unroll the dough and cut out four circles, then place into individual greased baking tins and prick with a fork several times.
2 Spread a layer of marmalade onto the bottom of each circle. Peel and slice the oranges and lay the segments on top of the marmalade, then scatter the cardamom pods evenly between the four tarts. Bake for 20-25 mins or until the pastry turns golden.
3 In a small saucepan, gently bring the honey to a simmer until it's liquid. Using a baking brush, lightly coat each warm tart with the honey. Serve warm with a glass of sherry.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
