Rhubarb & Strawberry Galette
This rhubarb and strawberry galette is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
- 300 g rhubarb cut into 2cm pieces
- 200 g strawberries hulled and halved
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg beaten
- Demerara sugar for sprinkling
- 200g rhubarb compote ( see compote & syrup recipe )
- 50 g chopped nuts ( pecans, hazelnuts, pistachios)
Method
- Rhubarb Compote: Make the rhubarb compote by combining 250mls water with 250g caster sugar and 250g of chopped rhubarb. Bring these ingredients to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for 15 minutes. Using a jug, bowl and sieve, pour this mixture through the sieve, strain the beautiful pink liquid into a jug and transfer it into a sterilised bottle as your rhubarb simple syrup for cordials and cocktails.Take the rhubarb pulp that is remaining and soon this into a bowl. Continue until the process is complete. then use this compote as the base layer to your galette.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/Gas 6. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or grease well.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and transfer to the prepared baking tray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the other rhubarb, strawberries,sugar, cornflour, and vanilla extract until the fruit is coated. The cornflour helps absorb and thicken the juice from the rhubarb.
- Spoon the fruit mixture onto the centre of the puff pastry, leaving a 5cm border around the edge.
- Fold the edges of the pastry up and over the fruit, pleating it as you go to create a rustic edge.
- Brush the beaten egg over the pastry edges and sprinkle with Demerara sugar and chopped nuts. Pecan, hazelnuts or pistachios work really well.
- Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the fruit is tender.
- Leave the galette to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
