This rustic yet elegant galette is a delicious addition to your Rosh Hashana or holiday table. Roasted butternut squash, carrots, leeks, and apples wrapped in a flavorful and rich olive oil pastry dough. Hearty and slightly sweet, drizzled with date syrup (silan) and a squeeze of lemon juice. Something new to try this year if you're feeling adventurous!
Everyone has their Holiday favorites. For us, it is hard to choose a favorite, because we can honestly say that everything our mom cooked over the Holidays, especially Rosh Hashanah, was our favorite ( roasted head of lamb excluded, of course).
Her Carrot and Raisin Rosh Hashanah Rice, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory, has been a staple at our table for years. Over the years we switched it up a bit by creating a beautiful Sephardic Jeweled Rice that balances aromatic spices with the sweetness we all look for in a Rosh Hashanah recipe.

That is one gorgeous galette! I love all the beautiful fall colors. I'm sure this will be a hit at your holiday table along with grandma's matzah ball soup!

Would be a good idea to mention that the butter has to be frozen early in the recipe. I got to the place where you start making the crust before I realized the butter has to be frozen. Otherwise, yum, yum, yum.
Vicky and Ruth
Thank you for the suggestion. We will edit the recipe card.
