Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Galette – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Galettes or rustic tarts are pastries that are very popular these days and much easier to put together than a standard tart because you don’t use a pie or tart pan.  These free-form tarts are one of my favorite things to bake, especially when spring fruit and vegetables come into play, and right now rhubarb is peaking its head at local farmer’s market and grocery stores.  Rhubarb is a spring vegetable that pairs so nicely with fresh strawberries.  The contrasting magic of the two is a home baker’s dream and something I always look forward to creating during this time of the year.

Mother’s Day is tomorrow and this tart would be a very special gift for any mom.  It’s not difficult to put together, it just has a three-step process, which starts with making a buttery dough that becomes a flaky crust after baking.  The next step is to slice fresh strawberries and rhubarb and toss with sugar, flour and lemon juice – so their juices thicken to form the most stunning filling you’ve ever tasted.  The crumb topping is the last thing to prepare and probably the easiest of the three, but most remembered because of its outstanding crunch on top of the galette.  I love a good rustic strawberry rhubarb dessert and whether you’re giving it away to someone special, or enjoying it with friends after dinner, it’s truly a delightful treat.
