Triple Berry And Rhubarb Galette Food

TRIPLE BERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• For the crust: Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the shortening and work it into the flour by smashing and smearing it in with your fingers until the shortening is
• nearly incorporated. Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture. Use a whisk or plastic bowl scraper to toss the butter into the flour and break up the pieces until they are the size of peas. Combine the water and vinegar in a cup, then stir the mixture into the flour mixture. Press and fold the dough in the bowl a few times to incorporate any dry bits of flour.
• Place two pieces of plastic wrap on a work surface so they overlap slightly and place the dough in the center. Fold one side of the plastic over and flatten the dough slightly. Repeat on all four sides to incorporate any last dry bits of dough, repeating if needed. Wrap the dough securely in the plastic, flatten it into a rough circle and chill at least 2 hours or overnight. (Before rolling, allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes.)
• For the filling: Combine the blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl and toss until the berries are coated with the dry ingredients. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle about 17 inches wide. Use a knife or pizza cutter to trim the edges so they are even, creating a circle about 16 inches wide. Dust the top of the dough very lightly with flour and then roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer it to the prepared sheet pan and unroll (it's okay if the dough hangs over the edge). Patch any cracks with scraps of dough moistened with water. This will prevent your galette from leaking as it bakes.
• Pour the berry filling and any accumulated juices into the center of the dough. Spread the filling out, leaving a 3-inch border around the edges. Fold the border of dough over the fruit, allowing the dough to pleat as you fold. Press the dough gently down at the pleats to ensure that it seals. Brush the dough with the cream and sprinkle with the sugar. Place the galette in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• While the galette chills, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bake the galette for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400 degrees F and bake until the crust is golden and the fruit is bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes longer; rotate the pan during the last 20 minutes of baking if the galette is browning unevenly. Cool at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

RHUBARB GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 14-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick.
• Place rhubarb and lemon juice in a large bowl; toss to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Add sugar mixture to rhubarb and toss until well coated. Arrange rhubarb mixture on top of dough, leaving a 2-inch border all the way around. Fold border over the fruit mixture, overlapping where necessary and pressing gently to adhere the folds. Brush edges of dough with egg, sprinkle with turbinado or sanding sugar, and dot with butter. Transfer to refrigerator and chill 15 to 20 minutes.
• Bake until crust is deep golden brown and juices are bubbling, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool the galette. Serve warm or at room temperature.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Stack the two discs of dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a disc about 12 inches wide. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Set aside.
• Toss together the rhubarb, strawberries, cornstarch and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside. Roll out the almond paste into a 10-inch circle.
• Place the almond paste on the dough. Top evenly with the strawberry-rhubarb filling, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the dough edges toward the center of the galette, up and over the edges of the filling, overlapping as needed.
• Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush on the edges of the galette and sprinkle with the almonds and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
• Bake until the filling is bubbly and the edges are nicely browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving with whipped cream or ice cream.

STRAWBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the basil cream: Combine cream, basil, and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Set bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water, and stir until sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours for a more pronounced basil flavor). Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Add mascarpone, and whisk until medium peaks form. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
• Make the fried basil: Heat oil in a deep skillet to 325 degrees. Fry basil, a few leaves at a time, for 12 seconds. (The leaves will cause the hot oil to spatter; step away from the pan while they cook.) Drain leaves on paper towels, and let cool completely. Sprinkle both sides of the leaves with sugar. (Basil can be stored at room temperature overnight.)
• Make the dough: Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor to combine. Add butter, and pulse until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add ice water, and pulse until just combined (dough will still be crumbly). Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out a 10-inch round, and transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Make the galette: Cut strawberries lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Reserve end pieces for another use. Toss slices with 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch, and immediately arrange them in concentric circles on dough. Start 1 inch from edge, overlapping slices slightly. Fold edge of dough over berries. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Whisk together yolk and water. Brush dough with the egg wash, and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Dot berries with butter. Bake until crust is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm with basil cream and fried basil.
