METHOD
Pastry
- In a bowl of a food processor, place flour, pecans, sugar, salt and cinnamon and pulse to form a coarse meal texture.
- Add butter and pulse until large crumbs form and then add the water and process until just combined.
- Turn out dough onto a sheet of cling wrap, form into a disc, cover and chill for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven on Intensive Bake at 170°C. Place a baking tray on shelf position 1 and allow to heat for 10 minutes.
Blueberry compote
- Place the blueberries, corn flour, orange zest, lemon juice and caster sugar in a bowl, toss until combined.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a diameter of approximately 30 cm and 5 mm thick. This is a rustic tart; don’t be too concerned about achieving the perfect shape!
- Line a 27 cm round baking tray with the pastry. If the pastry cracks or breaks, just patch back together.
- Pile the blueberry filling into the centre of the pastry with a 5 cm border of pastry around the edges.
- Fold pastry edges over filling, overlapping slightly. Brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
- Bake the galette for 40 minutes until filling is bubbling. Remove from oven and cool.
To serve
- Slice into 12 portions and serve with vanilla bean crème fraiche.
Hints and tips
- The pastry can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to a month.
- The Galette can be baked 1 day ahead and can be stored in the fridge, or at room temperature. To serve, re-heat on Intensive Bake at 120°C for 15 minutes, until warm.
- This is a very versatile tart; you can substitute cherries or your favourite seasonal fruit and nuts.
