Apricot and pistachio galette

by Jeanne Horak on July 18, 2011 16 Comments in Baking (sweet), Dessert, Fruit, Monthly Mingle, Recipes

Apricot pistachio galette title © J Horak-Druiff 2011

 

Overheard at the recent Plate to Page workshop in Weimar:

Jamie:  “What do eating and sex have in common?  They are two of the only human activities that engage all five of the senses:  touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing.”

Jeanne:  “And the advantage that eating has over sex is that you don’t get arrested and jailed for doing it in public!”

Well, in most countries I’ve visited anyway…!

The fact is that food and eating is not just about your taste buds but a full-on, full-body sensory experience. Anybody who thinks otherwise has never eaten a whole roast chicken with their bare hands, Mediaeval feast style.  Or peeled and eaten a mango, or eaten a whole artichoke, for that matter.  And because food is such an all-encompassing an intensely personal experience, it makes sense that people have such strong, visceral – and divergent views on specific foods.  Show me a boudin noir sausage and I am transported instantly to taste heaven; serve it to Nick and he will leave the table. A good friend confided in me the other day that seeing food served on textured, translucent glass plates has the same effect on her as hearing fingernails scraped down a blackboard.  Another friend can’t stand the flavour or texture of celery (which I always thought to be pretty innocuous) or the taste of cilantro leaves; while the same friend of the glass plate problems feels queasy at the thought of flowering teas.  When my mother was weaning me from milk onto solid foods as a baby, she fed me a spoonful of mashed bananas.  I instantly pulled a face and started spitting it out, all the while opening and closing my fists as if to say:  “Ick, mom!  MUSHY!!”.  I still exactly the same way about evil bananas today.

 

P2PApricot

And then there are apricots.  Another blogger (although I now forget who) once told me that the feeling of the furry skin of a peach or an apricot on her skin sends shivers of horror through her body – she simply cannot stand the sensation.  Of course, this means relatives sneak up on her when she isn’t looking, carrying concealed stone fruits, and rub them against her arm, just to see the reaction.  Family – gotta love them!  I am at the other end of the spectrum. I am so enamoured with the smell and feel of apricots and peaches that one of the first things I do when I land in South Africa is hit the supermarket, grab a couple of yellow cling peaches or apricots and snuggle them up against my cheek with eyes closed and a blissed out smile on my face. Yes, I am a little odd. No, there’s nothing they can do for me…! But you get the picture – I love love love apricots. And when I saw them in the supermarket last week, all plump with their rosy blush and almost human, baby-soft skin, I could not resist and bought two punnets.

 

ApricotGaletteCollage

 

I had been hankering after an apricot galette ever since the lovely Sarka from Cook Your Dream made one last summer.  The word itself comes from the Old French word galet meaning a rounded pebble, since the first galettes were apparently baked on a large rounded pebble heated in a fire, and it is defined as a rustic, free form tart where the pastry is folded around the filling. (There is also a version called a Breton galette which is a buckwheat crepe, rather than a tart, and has a savoury filling.) I think it is precisely this lack of structure in a free-form galette that appeals to me, far more so than a neatly formed pie or a tart, and the fact that you can make it with a wide range of fruit.  And then, as if by magic, the opportunity presented itself to use the abundance of apricots in my fridge and satisfy my galette cravings:  a friend invited me to lunch and asked me to make a dessert for eight.  Game on.

 

ApricotGaletteBeer

 

I largely followed a recipe from The Telegraph, but seeing as the lunch was to have a Middle-Eastern flavour, I substituted ground pistachios for the ground almonds that the recipe originally called for (simply take whole shelled pistachios and blitz them in your food processor), which added a wonderful flavour.  The whole thing was super easy to put together and looked like a million bucks when I pulled it out of the oven.  If you want to you can make it shiny with an apricot jam glaze after it has been baked, but I chose to leave it as it was – and received rave reviews from the other lunch guests.  If you are wondering about the ale pics above, it’s my suggested drink match – Hot Cross Ale from Morrisons:  not too sweet, but with spicy hot-cross-bun notes and a caramelly finish that works beautifully with the caramelised apricots.  In fact, check out their whole range of interesting beers, both English and foreign – some surprising finds.  But the star of the show was without a doubt the apricot galette.  Better than sex?  I’ll let you decide.

APRICOT AND PISTACHIO GALETTE (serves 8) 

Ingredients:

FOR THE PASTRY:

250g plain flour
150g butter, cubed
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 egg yolk
1-3 Tbsp iced water (added one at a time – stop when dough forms a ball)

FOR THE FILLING:

100g ground pistachios
50g soft brown sugar
900g apricots, stoned and cut into quarters
50g granulated sugar
icing sugar or apricot jam, to serve (optional)

Method:

To make the pastry, either blitz together the flour, butter and sugar in a food processor or rub the butter into the flour and sugar mixture in a large bowl, until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.  Mix the yolk with the water and add that to the mixing bowl.  Mix again with the food processor or by hand until the dough comes together in a ball. Scrape out of the bowl, wrap in clingfilm and put in the fridge to rest for a few hours (I left mine overnight).

When you are ready to make the galette, remove the dough from the fridge about 20 minutes before you want to roll it.  Pre-heat the oven to 190C.

Roll the pastry into a circle about 24cm across and 2.5mm thick. Place this circle on to a metal baking sheet covered with baking paper . Mix the ground pistachios and softbrown sugar and sprinkle over the pastry, leaving a rim of about 4cm all the way round.  Pile the apricot quarters on top of the pistachio mixture – no need to be tidy about this! Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the fruit. Pull up the rim of the pastry and fold it over the edge of the fruit all the way round.

Bake in the pre-heated oven for 45 minutes, until the pastry is turning golden and the fruit slightly caramelised. Allow to cool before serving – the caramelly sugar, nut and fruit mix will firm up as it cools – hot out of the oven, it will be a messy affair!  If desired, sift over a light dusting of icing sugar once cooled; or heat some smooth apricot jam and paint this over the fruit with a patry brush for a shiny finifh.  Serve with whipped cream or créme fraiche.

 

I am submitting this as my entry into this month’s edition of the Monthly Mingle, brainchild of my sister-from-another-mother Meeta and hosted this month by Sukaina of Sips and Spoonfuls.  The theme is stone fruit and you have until 31 July to get your entries in!

    Does one have to be passionate about food in order to think of it as a sensory experience equivalent to sex? Food is a very controversial subject, our likes and dislikes causing passionate debate indeed! (I will join Nick in leaving the Boudin Noir to you and JP!) yet it is funny that I have such mixed feelings about apricots. But no such hesitation when it comes to this gorgeous galette! I recently made apricot tartlets and found that baking them brought out such fabulous, sweet, fruit and tangy flavor that is often hidden when eaten raw. I would love a slice of this oh-so sexy galette! Stunning!

    The horror of the sensation of apricot skins reminds me of a job that I had when a colleague would exploit my horror of two pieces of polysterene being rubbed together. He would creep up behind me and make them squeak, which would make me shudder so hard I usually squeaked and and jumped out of my chair. I twitch even thinking about it!
    You galette looks lovely, and has inspired an idea for me!

    Having read the post, properly, I guess there isn’t a ‘last slice’ for me! I’ll bring a slice of my Orange and Ricotta tart for you tomorrow anyway…

    I love apricots, but the problem is that when you eat too many of them…
    I’m very interested in the Hot Cross Ale. I’m not a drinker, but it sounds interesting.

    You’re galette looks amazing! And I must say that I absolutely LOVE peaches! I’m seriously a bit obsessed. I didn’t know about this Monthly Mingle, but have just posted a delicious peach recipe on my blog ( http://www.madewithpink.com/2011/07/cinnamon-peach-ice-cream-waffles.html ) that uses my favourite flavour combo at the moment – cinnamon & peach, which is relatively unheard of in the UK, but I can assure you is absolutely delicious!
    I can relate to those who posted that they hate the fuzzy texture of peach & apricot skin. I must admit that although I love both these fruits I’ve never actually eaten the skin before. I always peel them away using the boiling water method (see my link above). It’s so easy and makes the fruit so nice and juicy, so for those of you who are really turned off by the fuzzy skins, just peel them like I do! It’s really easy!

    That all looks stunningly beautiful! And those apricots look amazing as well. I love the sound of apricots and pistachios together!!
    Alas, I haven’t seen local apricots here yet, but they should be coming soon. (I hope) I can’t wait to make apricot preserves so we can make Linzer Torte. Hmmm, I wonder if we should put ground pistachios instead of ground almonds into the Linzer Torte pastry….

Are you a cook... or a baker? 
I fall firmly into the "cook" category. Baking is too precise, too fiddly - and best left to those with an affinity for it, I always say! But every now and then, only a cake will do. Say, for example... when you celebrate your blog's SIXTEENTH birthday!! 🎉🍾 Yes, last month Cooksister.com turned sweet sixteen, and to celebrate I baked this sticky spiced plum upside down cake. It's a very forgiving recipe and it's worth every single calorie 😁.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappoint
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Anybody else got Lockdown Itchy Feet Syndrome...?? If it isn't an official disorder,  it certainly should be!

I have always been a dreamer, a planner, an explorer. Few things excite me more than stepping onto the soil of a country I have not visited before. When I am going through tough personal times, my go-to self-help therapy has always been to arrange a trip - to throw off the metaphorical bow lines and sail away to a new adventure. 
But then... Corona 😞  I can honestly say that I am enjoying working from home; enjoying having the time to run every day; enjoying cooking proper meals; enjoying my own company; enjoying the lack of FOMO. But OH MAN, I miss travel. 
This image was taken 2 years ago in St George's, Grenada - my first visit to the Caribbean but  certainly not my last. This photo has me dreaming of the day I can throw off those bow lines and travel again... How are you dealing with the lack of travel during this time?

Am I the only one feeling faintly sad at all the Spring bulbs that were planted last year that have been flowering in parks and public gardens with nobody (or fewer people, anyway...) around to admire them? Spare a thought for the gardeners at Holland's famous Keukenhof who planted SEVEN MILLION bulbs last winter in preparation for the garden's annual 2-month opening... but because of Covid-19 Keukenhof did not open at all in 2020. 
But the good news is that for the first time in its history, Keukenhof was virtually open this year, meaning you can enjoy the best of the Spring flowers virtually, from the comfort of your armchair.  Keukenhof posted an amazing series of videos to their YouTube channel featuring magnificent 360 degree tours of the 2020 flowering bulbs; a run-down of the best photo spots; talks by various Keukenhof gardeners; and even a visit from Spongebob Squarepants!  You can check out their YouTube channel here https://bit.ly/2WWkahW. Or you can visit my blog  https://bit.ly/2zMgrLL  to see more of my Keukenhof images like this one of a river of tulips from when I visited a few years ago.

Have you visited Keukenhof?  What were your favourite Spring flowers? ⚘⚘⚘

When  people tell me they don't like Brussels sprouts, my inner voice always cries out the same response: oh honey, you're just doing it wrong! Sesame ginger sprouts are nutty, zingy and delicious - the opposite of the overcooked grey stinky sprouts of your youth, and so easy to make! 🔖 Remember to save this post so you can make the recipe later! The recipe is also on my blog - click the live link in my profile. 
For 4 people you need:
500 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved and cooked (I roast mine in a hot oven)
1 x 2cm piece of ginger cut into fine matchsticks
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
1 Tbsp canola oil
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Salt & pepper 
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the ginger till fragrant. Add the sprouts, mix well and heat through. Remove from heat, add the sesame oil, season and serve topped with toasted sesame seeds.

Did you know that 6 February is Waitangi Day, the national day of New Zealand? .

I am marking the occasion with this photo was taken just over 3 years ago on the shores of beautiful Lake Pukaki on the South Island, looking across at Mt Aoraki.  I loved my visit and planned the trip completely independently – here are some tips for anybody thinking of visiting the South Island. .
🔖Click “save” to bookmark these tips for later! ➡️ 1) Take more time than you think you need. In a week you will barely scratch the surface of the South Island - I would say 2 weeks is a comfortable amount of time. ➡️ 2) Don’t assume that summer means hot weather! Even in December (the height of summer) temperatures peak at about 21C in Christchurch. Pack layers. ➡️ 3) Do spend time in Queenstown. It is stunning and one of my favourite places I have ever visited – great for hiking in summer, skiing in winter, sailing on the lake, adventure sports and a base for many surrounding natural attractions. ➡️ 4) Take day trips from Queenstown to Milford Sound and the Franz Josef glacier (but be aware that the weather is often not great). ➡️ 5) Take a road trip! The roads are excellent and generally empty – and it means you get to pose in places like the shore of Lake Pukaki 😊 .
Have you visited New Zealand’s South Island?  Would you like to?  Let me know in the comments!

Nicole Kidman's is both hands on hips. Meryl Streep's is only left hand on hip. Victoria Beckham's is right hip out, left foot forward (and no smile!). Mine started as a joke many years ago - the earliest evidence I have is from 2005 😎 Do YOU have a signature pose? Tell me in the comments or DM me a pic!

This particular pose was struck on the @chateaulhospitalet estate in the Languedoc, looking out over @gerardbertrandwines vineyards all the way to the Mediterranean. You can read all about my stay there now on the blog - click on the live link in my profile

Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you
Even if you are not a French speaker as such, you may be surprised by the number of French words you already know: rendezvous, entrepreneur, souvenir and ricochet need no introduction. All have been adopted into English wholesale, with their original French meaning and spelling. Perhaps they should apply for settled status post-Brexit... But sometimes a word’s literal translation in French bears no resemblance to what the word has come to mean, such as canape. Although we know the word as meaning a small piece of pastry or bread with a savoury topping served at drinks receptions, the literal translation is a decorative antique sofa. When a clever chef first came up with the idea, the topping was thought to sit on the bread or pastry like a person reclining on a sofa, and the snacks came to be known half-jokingly as canapes. Fact! 
I enjoyed these very elegant canapes (LOVED the lacy little potato lattices!) with Code Rouge sparkling wine before a jazz dinner at Gerard Bertrand’s flagship wine estate Chateau L’Hospitalet in the Languedoc.  The dinner was as  spectacular as the canapes and you can read all about it on my blog now – click the live link in my profile above.

The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Ol
The Christmas decorations may be long gone, but Old Spitalfields Market where this photo was taken is very much open and is one of my favourite London markets. Here are my top tips for visiting Old Spitalfields:

1.  The closest station is Liverpool Street which is only a 5 minute walk from the market.
2. It's open daily, with over a hundred stalls, but on Wednesday the focus is on fashion & on Thursday the focus is on antiques & vintage.
3. The busiest day is Sunday - get there early to beat the crowds!
4. Make sure you sample some of the excellent street food on offer - I love the 8-hour pulled pork bagels from Dirty Bagel, topped with cheese melted by blowtorch in front of your eyes; or the traditional raclette at Abondance.
5. Don't forget to check out the amazing Shoreditch street art in the area around the market, either on a tour or self-guided walk.
6. The Truman Brewery just east of Spitalfields hosts a massive collection of vintage clothes stalls, and more street food - don't miss it!

"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Yo
"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so... get on your way!" (Dr Seuss)

How are you starting the new decade? Staring at the mountains ahead, worrying about how hard they will be to climb and whether your shoes will be comfortable and whether it is going to rain along the way? Or striding confidently towards the mountains ahead, looking forward to the fresh air filling your lungs and the sense of purpose as your legs carry you ever higher, and relishing the prospect of an amazing view from the top?

There is no finer metaphor for life than a walk in the mountains and I have already made my choice as to how I plan to tackle the mountains of 2020. What's your choice? 
Wishing you all a very happy new year and amazing views from the top of every personal and professional mountain that you climb!

This particular mountain is in the Austrian Alps where I hiked last summer. Thanks to @thepassionatecook for the 📸!
