This galette will be amazing accompanied by Pistachio Ice Cream! Like many great recipes, this one was created out of necessity. In my case, it was the need to use up a punnet of yellow plums that I had in the house a bit too long. They looked so beautiful and so appealing when I bought them. But after a few days in the fruit basket remained hard as a rock and quite sour. It’s a typical problem for winter fruit shipped from who knows where.
Galette recipe
The solution was a galette, a personal favourite of mine. They are very easy to throw together and seem to provide a more balanced pie crust to filling ratio than a traditional pie. I’ve made many galette recipes over the years. Rustic Strawberry and Cream Cheese is a reader favourite and always a great choice. Or try something different like Savoury Galette with Grilled Eggplant and Roasted Red Peppers, over on The Veg Connection! While a homemade pie crust recipe is still the gold standard, I am a believer that a good quality store bought crust absolutely has a place. It’s just so much easier to use a prepared crust than to make one. Especially when the recipe you are making is supposed to be simple! If you feel inspired to make your own pie crust, don’t worry! Check out my Wild Blueberry Pie recipe for a stunning recipe that is very popular in my house. I also paired plums with blueberries to liven up the flavours. Blueberries have an amazing way of bringing a softness to flavour that matches so well with ripe fruit. A personal favourite of mine! Such an easy and beautiful treat to enjoy after dinner. Or perhaps on a quiet afternoon with your cup of tea and a friend. Life couldn’t get any better than that!
