Maple Pecan Galette With Fresh Ginger Recipes

MAPLE-PECAN GALETTE WITH FRESH GINGER

Steps:

• Make the dough: Crack the egg into a measuring cup and beat it with a fork. Add enough cold water to measure 1/3 cup. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the egg mixture to a small covered container and reserve it in the refrigerator for brushing the crust before baking.
• To make the dough in a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt in the work bowl and pulse two or three times to combine. Add cubed butter, then pulse until the mixture has formed lima bean-size pieces. Drizzle in the egg mixture and pulse just to combine, taking care not overprocess.
• To make the dough by hand, put the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add cubed butter, then mix it in with your hands, pinching and squeezing with your fingers (or use a pastry blender) until the largest pieces are the size of peas. Drizzle in the egg mixture a little at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together.
• Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and squeeze it once or twice to form a ball. (Add a few drops of water if needed to help the dough come together.) Flatten into a disk, cover in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
• Make the filling: Set aside 1/2 cup pecans for the topping. Put remaining 1 cup pecans in a food processor with the sugar and process until finely ground. (If you've made the crust in a food processor, don't bother washing it out.) Pulse in the butter, egg, bourbon, vanilla, ginger, allspice and fine sea salt until smooth. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days, until the mixture is cold and solid.
• Place a piece of parchment paper on a work surface. Unwrap the dough and place it in the center of the paper. Top with another piece of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into an 11-inch round. (It can be ragged at the edges.) Leaving the dough sandwiched in the parchment paper, transfer it to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Remove the top piece of parchment paper from the dough. Spoon the pecan mixture onto the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Top with reserved whole pecans. Gently fold the pastry over the filling, pleating to hold it in. (Casual folds are fine: The aim is to make sure the filling stays in the tart.)
• Put the galette, uncovered, in the refrigerator for another 20 minutes (and up to 1 hour). It should be cold and firm to the touch when you put it in the oven.
• As the galette chills, heat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Brush pastry with reserved egg mixture. (Add a little water if it thickened as it sat.) Sprinkle the pastry very lightly with flaky sea salt and very generously with maple sugar.
• Bake the galette for 25 to 35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream or ice cream.

Reduce heat; simmer 2-3 minutes or until syrupy, stirring occasionally. Strain and discard ginger slices., Place pecans in a large bowl; drizzle with syrup mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to prepared pan. Roast 20-25 minutes or until toasted, stirring occasionally. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

BLUEBERRY PECAN GALETTE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Make the pecan crumble: In a medium bowl, mix together the pecans, flour, oats, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the butter and use your fingertips to work into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the filling: Add ½ cup of the Walmart® blueberries to a large bowl and mash with a fork. Add the remaining 2 cups of blueberries, the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and mix until well combined.
• Unroll the refrigerated pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. Pour the blueberry filling onto the center of the crust and spread evenly, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Going in one direction, fold the dough border over the filling, creating creases by using your fingers to tuck the dough under itself every 2-3 inches. Sprinkle the pecan crumble on top of the filling. Chill the galette in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
• Once the galette has chilled, use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over the crust, then sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
• Bake the galette for 25 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is set. If the crust starts to brown too much, tent the edges of the galette loosely with foil. Remove the galette from the oven and let rest for 1 hour before serving.
• Slice the galette into 6-8 pieces and serve topped with a scoop of ice cream and a sprinkle of chopped pecans.
• Enjoy!
