About this recipe
Pepper, onion and sausage galettes Thermomix TM7 recipes bring French countryside cooking straight to your kitchen table. These rustic free-form tarts pair a crumbly butter pastry, flecked with fresh thyme and sea salt, with a rich filling of slowly softened onions, sweet peppers and golden-fried sausage. Searching for a quick weeknight dinner made in an all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the TM7 chops the peppers and onions evenly, kneads the shortcrust pastry in moments, and gently confits the onions low and slow for that bistro-style sweetness. The open galette shape means no fussy tart tins or blind baking, just fold the pastry edges over the filling and bake until golden. Ideal for casual family dinners, weekend lunches or slicing up for a picnic, this recipe delivers a crisp, flaky crust and a deeply savoury centre every single time.
Preparation tips
- Chill the thyme pastry for at least half an hour before rolling so the butter firms up, giving the galette its characteristically flaky, tender layers after baking.
- Cook the onion and pepper filling until most of the liquid has evaporated; a wet filling would sog the pastry base, so aim for glossy, jammy vegetables before spooning onto the dough.
- Sprinkle the crumbled sausage over the vegetables rather than mixing it in, so each slice of galette shows distinct pieces of meat, pepper and onion when you cut into it.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian version: replace the sausage with cubes of halloumi or chunks of smoked paprika-spiced firm cheese, pan-fried until golden before topping the onion and pepper filling.
- Festive winter variation: add thin rings of chorizo and a handful of grated Gruyère over the peppers, then finish the baked galette with a drizzle of honey and extra thyme leaves.

Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- Weigh the plain flour, butter and water directly in the mixing bowl, so the thyme pastry ratios are exact without dirtying a separate kitchen scale.
- The Thermomix kneads the flour and cold butter into a smooth shortcrust within seconds, avoiding warm hands that would toughen the pastry.
- Chopping the onions in the mixing bowl takes mere moments and keeps the tears at bay while delivering uniform pieces for even caramelisation.
- Heating the onions and peppers with precise low-temperature control gently confits them until sweet and jammy, exactly like a French bistro preparation.
- Grinding the sea salt and fresh thyme leaves together releases their aromatic oils, distributing herby flavour evenly through the golden pastry.
