Galette

Ratatouille: Every Which Way

Ratatouille: Every Which Way

Ratatouille.  It can be fancy and minimalist.  It can evoke the warm and fuzzy feelings of home.  It can bring to mind the image of a cute French rat.  It can be transformed into epic bestovers.

A galette is basically the hipster version of a tart.  It is imperfect to perfection, rustic to the point of being refreshingly contemporary.  And was the ultimate trend setter.  Until everybody caught on.  It also just so happens to be the easiest summer hack to entertaining.  Don’t have a tart tin?  Galette.  Don’t have perfectly just-ripe fruit or veg?  Galette.  Don’t have hours to prep?  Galette.  Don’t want to hear more reasons?  Galette.

Sometimes it’s the stunning photography, the innovative styling, sometimes the who, the why, the where.  And sometimes, it’s just about discovering the most unusual Ratatouille-palette-firework-inducing flavour combinations that make the culinary world so enticing.  Which just so happened to be the case this morning, thanks to Master Chef Australia’s current contestant Ashleigh Bareham (and if you haven’t heard of Master Chef Australia, then that’s another conversation we need to have), who decided to oven roast Apricots with Rosemary.  Who’d have thought.  Genius.  Yes, that herb you rub meats with, roast vegetables in, and infuse gravies with.  That one.  On our Galettes.  Mini/individual Apricot Rosemary and Honey Galettes, to be precise.
