I am going to honest, I had never made a galette before this recipe. I have always wanted to make one and finally decided to try. I did my research, got my ingredients and tried…and failed a couple times. One that I had to completely scrap because I filled it before putting it in the pan, sigh…rookie mistake. After a couple attempts and a little editing, this beautiful galette was born.
A few things I love about galettes, first off they are beautiful. No special pie dish needed, they are rustic and fabulous. Speaking of pie, galettes are so similar but much easier to make. Easy as pie, more like easy as a galette! The dough is so simple, I have thrown pie dough out more time than I can count, but this dough came out perfect every time. What a relief that was!
When coming up with this recipe, I knew I wanted to work with rhubarb, it is a great seasonal veggie with a bittersweet taste that pairs with many flavors and can be made into so many different things. I have only really used rhubarb for pies and in my rhubarb pie recipe, I used a honey lime reduction, which was amazing! Seriously check it out if you love rhubarb recipes. I loved how the reduction created an ooey-gooey filling and I wanted to do the same with raspberry. I added a little mint to the reduction for a beautiful aroma.
The combination of the sweet crunchy crust and the tangy filling is so good. Make this for your next summer get together and your guests will be begging for the recipe. Also, try these in mini size for an easy handheld treat or for a mid-morning snack.
