Strawberry galette
The rustic tart also called galette recipe is becoming more and more popular because it is simple and quick to make, absolutely delicious and served with vanilla ice cream, that's what makes it so popular.
A simple composition with only a base of pie crust and a filling of cooked fruit. The most famous is certainly the kapple rustic tart, but it can be made with any season fruit, such as pears, blueberries or as here strawberry.
It is called rustic (old-fashioned) because it requires almost no utensils, neither dish nor pie ring. A super easy preparation, we spread the dough then we pause the filling and we fold the edges and voila there is not more simple!
Easy and quick strawberry tart
With the difference of the classic strawberry tart, here strawberries are cooked. So if that puts you off, believe me the strawberries remain tasty and sweet even after cooking.
And there's nothing to stop you from adding fresh strawberries once it's cooled.
This tart is composed of a sweet pastry crust in the bottom of the tart, an almond cream better known as frangipane, a strawberry compote, fresh strawberries and some crushed pistachios.
I made here 3 small tarts to share with 2 or to eat alone ;-), but the quantities are for a strawberry tart of 22-25 cm diameter approximately.

Ingredients notes
Pie crust
For the base of the galette I made a sweet shortcrust pastry very simple and quick to prepare. It is composed of flour that you can replace by a wholemeal flour, confectioner's sugar, soft butter and a bit of almond meal, the whole bound with an egg..
Almond cream
This is a basic French pastry cream filling, better known as frangipane, and is widely used to garnish fruit tarts. Prepared with a ratio of equal ingredients, almond podure, powdered sugar, butter and an egg.
Strawberry puree
The strawberry compote is optional but it brings an even tastier texture and accentuates the taste of the strawberries. It is simply made of strawberries and sugar.
Topping
For decoration and taste you can sprinkle the galette with pistachios or other nuts. Rustic tart are often served with a little vanilla ice cream and eaten warm or cold.
