    Berry Rhubarb Galette with Almond Granola Topping

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    berry rhubarb galette

    Rhubarb season is still going strong in my area and I am taking advantage of it as much as possible.

    I think I've mentioned before, but I've been working hard on growing a garden this year. I've made an attempt at gardening for years already, but I was not blessed with a green thumb. One of the plants I am growing is rhubarb. One of my bulbs isn't growing, but the other just started growing three beautiful stalks. I am so excited! I am a little sad that it took about a month for the stalks to begin growing. I've also planted kale, eggplant, pumpkin, cilantro, chive, rosemary, mint and tomatoes. I am trying to take it slowly with the veggies this year.

    My local farmer's market has nothing but super ginormous strawberries around. just look at these strawberries. I set a regular-sized strawberry alongside the rest just for comparison. These strawberries are about four times the size of normal strawberries. This is what I love about going to a farmer's market for my fruit and veggies - you just can't get strawberries like this at the store. At least not in any of my local stores.

    I haven't made a galette in ages, and not one for you yet, so this was long overdue. I've always made savory galettes, so I was excited to make something sweet and and Spring-y.

    And what is better than a mix of berries with tart rhubarb and crunchy almond granola wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust? Exactly. This galette is pure happiness and sunshine in every bite. That sounds cheesy, doesn't it? Yes, it definitely sounds cheesy. All I know is that I've been going through some emotional stuff (more on that later), and everytime I have a bite of this berry rhubarb galette, I feel whole again.

    These mini galettes are the perfect size dessert for one two. I love it with a bit of plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkling of cinnamon. It's perfect. The thick, creamy and slightly bitter plain yogurt really pairs well with this sweet dessert.

    Ingredients
      

    Granola

    • ½ cup old fashioned oats
    • ¼ cup roughly chopped almonds
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon cardamom
    • pinch of salt

    Galette Dough

    • 2 ½ cups flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons sugar
    • ½ cup 1 stick frozen butter, cut in cubes
    • ½ cup 1 stick chilled butter, cut in cubes
    • ½ cup ice water

    Filling

    • 5 extra large strawberries or about 12 regular strawberries chopped
    • 6 ounces raspberries
    • 6 ounces wild blueberries
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 3 stalks of rhubarb chopped
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 1 egg
    • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
    • Mix the ingredients for the granola together in a bowl, then lay the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool and harden.
    • In a medium to large bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar together Use a pastry cutter or your food processor to cut in the butter. The mixture should resemble large crumbs.
    • Add the ice water and mix until the mixture is moist. Transfer the dough to plastic wrap and squeeze the dough until it combines to a ball. Flatten the ball to form a disc. Move to the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes or up to 2 days. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
    • In a medium bowl, mix the berries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch and salt together.
    • Take out the dough and cut in four equal pieces. Form each into a ball and flatten them to form discs and roll out each disc until they are about 8 inches in diameter.
    • Divide the filling and place in the center of each disc, leaving the edges clear. Fold up the edges of the dough.
    • In a small bowl, beat the egg with tablespoon of water and brush the egg mixture over the dough of the galette. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the dough.
    • Bake the galette for about 20 minutes, then sprinkle the granola over the galettes. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the galettes are golden brown.

    Notes

    Best eaten the same day. If serving the next day, skip the granola.

      Those look absolutely delicious! I love Spring-y treats as well. I will have to venture and make this recipe for sure. Rhubarb does have a tart taste, and I think that is why I was not too fond of it in a strawberry rhubarb pie, but these look beautiful and scrumptious.

      That looks scrumptious! I love the rhubarb/strawberry combo. I just moved my rhubarb - it wasn't happy and never grew big enough to harvest in the three years I've had it. Maybe next spring!

      This is perfect. I have so much rhubarb, and other than the typical strawberry-rhubarb crumble, don't know what to do with it. Stopping by from SITS.

        Rhubarb goes with everything!! I love the pear/rhubarb and the peach/rhubarb combo a lot. I also like to make a rhubarb syrup (I have a recipe somewhere on the blog). With that, I mix with drinks or fold into yogurt and ice cream!

      Happy SITS day! That looks absolutely scrumptious! Good luck with your garden, I had a garden for a couple of years and although it was hard work, it was worth it! Unfortunately due to recent dry summers I had to stop my gardening activities because we didn't have enough water to water it all!

        I have a few more stalks growing from my rhubarb and I actually have two pumpkins that are sprouting now too. For someone known for ruining plants, this is such an exciting development. I hope you are able to start a new garden soon!
