Best 5 Strawberry And Pistachio Galette Recipes

STRAWBERRY AND PISTACHIO GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a food processor, pulse to combine flour, salt and sugar. Add butter and cream cheese and pulse until lima-bean-size pieces form. Drizzle in lemon juice and 3 tablespoons/45 milliliters ice water, then pulse just until dough comes together, adding another tablespoon/15 milliliters of water if dough looks dry. Pat into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• Make the strawberry compote: Combine approximately 2/3 of the strawberries in a small pot with the lemon juice and 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar to taste, depending on sweetness of the berries. Cook over medium heat until strawberries start to break down and juices are thick and syrupy, about 12 minutes. Let cool. Compote can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
• Make the frangipane: In a food processor, process 3/4 cup/100 grams shelled raw pistachios and remaining 1/2 cup/100 grams sugar until finely ground. Add butter; pulse until combined, then add 2 eggs, the brandy, the lemon zest and the almond extract (if using), and pulse until smooth.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Dust a work surface with flour. Roll out dough to a 16-inch circle (it will be just slightly thicker than 1/8-inch), then transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Leaving a 3-inch border around the edges, spread the frangipane filling evenly over dough. Using a slotted spoon, dollop strawberry compote over frangipane, spreading any syrup gently so the compote and frangipane remain in separate layers, then fold dough edges up over the filling. About 6 to 8 inches of the filling should be exposed.
• In a small bowl, whisk remaining egg with 1 tablespoon cold water, then brush over the dough. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and chopped pistachios. Bake until edges are deeply golden, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. To serve, top with remaining halved strawberries and dust with confectioners' sugar.

STRAWBERRY PISTACHIO TART

Steps:

• Place milk in a saucepan. Split vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape beans into milk along with the pods. Heat to a boil stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Meanwhile whip yolks and sugar until thick. Remove vanilla pods from milk as it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and ladle enough of the hot milk into the yolk mixture, stirring well to warm it and make it more liquid. Add this mixture back to the saucepan and stir constantly until it reaches a simmer and is thick. Allow to bubble, stirring for 1 full minute. Pour into a glass or stainless bowl, cover and refrigerate until cold. (May be done a day in advance.)
• Draw a 10-inch diameter circle on paper as a guide. Place parchment baking paper over the guide. Soften almond paste with mixer on low speed. Add egg white and mix thoroughly. Using a pastry bag fitted with a star tube, pipe the macaroon mixture around the circle in rosettes. Prepare almond cake.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix both flours and the 1/2 cup sugar together and set aside. Whip egg whites until they form medium peaks. Add the 3 tablespoons sugar and continue to whip until well incorporated. Adding by thirds, shake in the flour sugar mixture. Fold in until incorporated. Starting at the center, pipe the almond cake batter inside the macaroon rosettes to create a solid base. Bake on lower shelf of oven until base is cooked and rosettes are starting to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Diplomat Cream and assembly: 2/3 recipe pastry cream 1 cup whipping cream 1-ounce pistachio paste 1 to 1 1/2 pints fresh strawberries Apricot glaze Handful unsalted pistachios
• Whip cream to soft peaks. Stir pastry cream until smooth. Stir pistachio paste into pastry cream then fold in whipped cream. Spread onto cooled tart base inside the macaroon rosette border. Arrange whole or halved strawberries on top. Glaze with apricot glaze using a pastry brush and sprinkle pistachios on top.

STRAWBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C.
• For the pastry: Mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and work with the fingers to a crumbly texture. Mix the water in quickly until the dough just holds together. Pat into a disk, wrap and refrigerate half an hour.
• Mix the almonds, flour and sugar. Roll out the chilled dough into a circle and set on a baking sheet. Spread the almond mixture over, leaving a 3 inch/7.5 cm margin. Toss the strawberries with the additional sugar and arrange on top. Fold the edges of the galette dough up over the berries and bake until the crust is crisp and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream, flavored with vanilla or cinnamon.

STRAWBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Whisk the all-purpose flour and the almond flour in a large bowl, then set aside. (It's best to stick it in the freezer for about 15 minutes until ready to use, to ensure a well-chilled dough.)
• Slice 3 tablespoons of the butter as thinly as possible without getting obsessive about it. (It's OK if pieces break.) Cut the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter into 1/2-inch cubes. Keeping the sliced butter and cubed butter separate, set the butter in the fridge to chill until ready to use.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the 1/4 cup yogurt with 1 tablespoon of the water and keep cold in the fridge until ready to use.
• Whisk the flour mixture with the 1 teaspoon sugar and the salt. Spread the cubed butter pieces over the flour and cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingers until the chunks look slightly smaller than pea size. Toss the butter slices with the flour mixture, separating them as you go, then gently press them into the flour between your fingers into flat sheets. (This extra step is helpful in creating pockets of steam, which will make for a flakier crust, an added bonus for pie dough makers of any skill!)
• Drizzle the chilled yogurt over the flour and butter mixture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to toss and combine. If the dough seems dry, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the ice water, and continue tossing and combining, incorporating any dry flour bits at the bottom of the bowl and scraping off the spatula as you go, until the mixture just comes together in a mound. If needed, drizzle more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, without allowing the dough to get too wet.
• Transfer the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap, then press the dough into a 6-inch disk and wrap well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees with the rack in the center position. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Prepare the filling: Place 1/2 cup sugar and the lemon zest in a large bowl and rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips. Add the strawberries, cornstarch and salt; mix well to combine, making sure the cornstarch is well incorporated. Add up to another 1/4 cup sugar if desired, depending on the sweetness of your strawberries and your desired level of sweetness.
• Dust your countertop with flour, then transfer the chilled dough to it and sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough. Roll the dough out to a 12- to 14-inch round, lightly flouring as needed. (It's OK if the edges break and the shape isn't perfectly round.) Gently transfer the dough by rolling it over a rolling pin and onto the prepared baking sheet. (At this point, if you've forgotten something, like preparing the egg wash, or if your dough has warmed up slightly, place the sheet pan in the fridge for a few minutes.)
• Mound the strawberries and their juices in the middle of the dough and leave a 2-inch border. Fold the border over the fruit, pleating as you fold and leaving the center of the galette exposed. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until the crust is golden and the strawberries are bubbling, about 35 minutes. It's OK if some juices leak. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour and serve.

STRAWBERRY-PISTACHIO TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and trim to make a neat rectangle. Freeze until firm, 10 minutes. With a fork, prick pastry all over. To prevent pastry from rising, top with a sheet of parchment paper and stack another rimmed baking sheet on top. Bake until light golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine 1/4 cup pistachios and sugar and process until pistachios are finely ground. Sprinkle mixture on pastry, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Bake until pastry is deep golden and pistachio mixture begins to turn golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Roughly chop remaining 1/4 cup pistachios. Remove sheet from oven; arrange strawberries on pistachio mixture, overlapping slices. Brush berries and border with jam and sprinkle chopped pistachios on border. Serve warm or at room temperature.
