NECTARINE AND BLUEBERRY GALETTE

The charm of a galette, a casual open-faced tart, is in its imperfections. It's O.K. if the fruit juices leak a little, and there is no fussy crust-crimping for those who find that part of pie-making frustrating. The often-overlooked nectarine is such a perfect summer fruit. It has all the honeyed sweetness of a peach, minus that fuzzy skin, plus a little hit of tartness, and it pairs beautifully with dark, sweet blueberries. The sugar here is given in a range: Use the smaller amount if your fruit is particularly sweet, the larger amount if it's tart.

Time 2h

Yield One 9-inch galette

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 to 8 tablespoons/80 to 100 grams sugar, depending on the sweetness of the fruit
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Pinch of kosher salt
2 medium nectarines (about 3/4 pound/340 grams), pitted and sliced into 1/2-inch slices
1 1/4 cups/180 grams blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 recipe all-butter pie crust, chilled
1 egg, beaten
3/4 teaspoon turbinado sugar
Pinch of flaky salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees, and position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine sugar, lemon zest and vanilla in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the zest and seeds (or extract) into the sugar. Add the flour and salt and stir to combine. Add the nectarines, blueberries and lemon juice, but don't stir quite yet.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch round just under 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Stir the filling to combine, then pile all the fruit in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Press the fruit gently to make sure there are no large open pockets. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit and press gently to seal the folds.
  • Put the whole baking sheet into the freezer, and chill the formed galette until the dough is very firm, about 15 minutes. Brush dough with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar and salt. Bake until deep golden brown and the juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

NECTARINE OR PEACH AND BLACKBERRY GALETTE

Nectarines and peaches work equally well here, as long as they're ripe and sweet. You can find almond powder, also called almond flour, in markets that sell baking supplies. The thin layer under the fruit will absorb juice so that the crust doesn't get soggy. Once you assemble the galette, you must place it in the freezer for an hour before baking, so plan accordingly.

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 9-inch galette, serving 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 dessert galette pastry (1/2 recipe)
1 1/2 pounds ripe nectarines, pitted and sliced
1 basket (6 ounces) blackberries
2 tablespoons mild honey, like clover, or 3 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
25 grams (1/4 cup) almond powder
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon milk, for egg wash
1 tablespoon raw brown sugar

Steps:

  • Remove the pastry from the freezer and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Leave it to thaw while you prepare the fruit, but don't keep it out of the freezer for too long. It will thaw quickly and is easiest to handle if it's cold. You want it just soft enough so that you can manipulate it.
  • Combine the nectarines, blackberries, honey or 2 tablespoons of the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon and the vanilla in a large bowl and gently toss together.
  • Sprinkle the almond powder over the pastry, leaving a 2- to 3-inch border all around. Place the fruit on top. Fold the edges of the dough in over the fruit, pleating the edges as you work your way around the fruit to form a free-form tart that is roughly 9 inches in diameter. Place in the freezer on the baking sheet for 45 minutes to an hour. This helps the galette maintain its shape.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the galette from the freezer. Brush the exposed edge of the pastry with the egg wash. Combine the remaining tablespoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the fruit and the crust. Place in the oven and bake 1 hour, until the fruit is bubbly and the juice is running out and caramelizing on the parchment. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm or at room temperature.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon minced dried lavender
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 scraped vanilla bean
2 cups blueberries
Vanilla bean ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the butter in an 10-inch cast-iron skillet and transfer to the preheated oven to melt.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder, lavender and salt in a bowl. Stir in the milk, 1 cup sugar, the lemon juice, zest and vanilla to combine. Mix together the remaining tablespoon sugar and the blueberries in another bowl. Remove the hot skillet with the melted butter from the oven and pour in the batter. Top with the sugared blueberries. Bake until brown and the batter has risen up and around the fruit, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a rack to cool slightly. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and pastry flour. The all-purpose flour will provide structure and stability, while the pastry flour will make the crust more tender and flaky.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking and cracking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it. The more you work the dough, the tougher it will become.
  • To ensure that the crust is evenly cooked, preheat the baking sheet before adding the galette.
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the galette cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This Cast Iron Blueberry and Nectarine Galette is a delicious and easy-to-make summer dessert. With its flaky crust, sweet and juicy filling, and beautiful presentation, this galette is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
