As soon as rhubarb is available at the farmer’s market in spring, the world is a little better again ;) I am a big rhubarb fan and look forward to this delicious veggie to come back in March/April of every year. There is so much you can do with these red-green stalks – for example, this delicious Rhubarb Frangipane Galette. Perfect for the first coffee party with family and friends in the warming spring sun ;)
Rhubarb is not everyone’s cup of tea I guess. Personally, I can’t really understand why someone is not loving rhubarb. I love it. Everything made with rhubarb is delicious. Period. But I can accept if someone is not liking it. There are also people out there that do not like chocolate, for example. All of them are monsters, but hey… ;P Just kidding! I am not judging anyone for liking or disliking any type of food. There are so many other reasons to not like a person. Kidding again! ;P
Galettes are super simple and easy to prepare. The perfect bake if you want to create something delicious with the first rhubarb of the season. In combination with the almonds this galette here turns into a real treat. In general, rhubarb plus almonds as well as rhubarb plus vanilla – great combinations that work in almost every type of cake or pastry.
The rhubarb in this galette here is neatly placed on a bed of frangipane and then baked. You can do it the same way, but you don’t have to. If you want to save yourself some time you can skip the (slightly time-consuming) pattern with the rhubarb. Just throw the rhubarb pieces randomly all over the almond cream – this does not look any less beautiful or delicious in the end ;)
Best of rhubarb!
Over the years, I have accumulated quite some rhubarb recipes here on the blog. Some time ago I published a whole article dedicated to rhubarb and some of my favorite recipes. All delicious things to bake in spring – from simple desserts to pastries, arts, and showstopper cakes. It’s all there. All delicious ;)
The very best rhubarb recipes!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(8 servings)
For the dough:
2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (65g) confectioners’ sugar
3.5 oz. (100g) cold butter
2 medium egg yolks
2 tbsp. ice water
For the rhubarb topping:
21 oz. (600g) rhubarb, cleaned & cut into 7cm sticks
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
1/2 cup (120ml) water
juice of 1/2 lemon
3-4 raspberries (optional)
For the frangipane:
3.5 oz. (100g) ground almonds
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. butter, at room temperature
1 medium egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 medium egg yolk, beaten
2-3 tbsp. sliced almonds
some coarse sugar for sprinkling
(8 Portionen)
Für den Teig:
260g Mehl (Type 550)
65g Puderzucker
100g kalte Butter
2 Eigelb (M)
2 EL Eiswasser
Für den Rhabarber Belag:
600g Rhabarber, geputzt & in 7cm Stangen geschnitten
100g Zucker
120ml Wasser
Saft von 1/2 Zitrone
3-4 Himbeeren (optional)
Für die Frangipane:
100g gemahlene Mandeln
2 EL brauner Zucker
1 EL Mehl (Type 550)
1 EL weiche Butter
1 Ei (M)
1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt
1 Eigelb (M), verquirlt
2-3 EL gehobelte Mandeln
grober Zucker zum Bestreuen
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. For the dough add flour and confectioners’ sugar to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the cold butter in small pieces, use a pastry blender* and cut the butter into even smaller pieces until everything looks like coarse sand. Add the egg yolks and ice water, mix in, and knead shortly until everything comes together – do not overmix. Shape into a ball, flatten it, and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for about 2 hours.
2. While the dough is resting prepare the rhubarb by cleaning and cutting it into 2.8 inches (7cm) sticks. Add the sugar, water, and lemon juice to a large pan. If you have more green than red rhubarb you can add some raspberries to “color” the rhubarb sticks (optional). Bring the mix to a boil and add the rhubarb. Let cook for 2-3 minutes while turning the rhubarb often. You want the rhubarb to look glossy but not for it to be soft. Remove the rhubarb and let the liquid cook for another 2-3 minutes so it can thicken up a bit more. Place the rhubarb in a shallow bowl and pour the syrup on top. Let cool down then place in the fridge for about 1 hour to cool down completely.
3. For the frangipane mix the ground almonds, brown sugar, and flour to a bowl and mix to combine. Add the soft butter, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until you get a smooth paste. Set aside
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a piece of baking parchment to get a large circle with a diameter of about 13 inches (33cm). You can roll out slightly larger and cut out the circle to get a nice clean edge. Place with the baking parchment on a baking sheet. Spread the frangipane on top of the dough, leaving a border of about 1.6 inches (4cm) all around. Take the rhubarb out of the syrup and let drain for a moment (save the syrup), then place on the frangipane in a zig-zag pattern. To create the pattern and keep a round shape you have to trim the rhubarb here and there a bit. Fold the dough over the rhubarb and brush with the beaten egg yolk. Sprinkle the edges with some sliced almonds, sprinkle some coarse sugar all over the galette and bake for about 25 minutes until the edges got some nice color and the rhubarb is soft. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet. You can serve the galette still a bit warm or cold with ice cream or whipped cream.
1. Für den Teig das Mehl mit dem Puderzucker in einer großen Schüssel vermischen. Die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken dazugeben, mit einem Teigmischer* in noch kleinere Stücke teilen, bis alles in etwa wie grober Sand aussieht. Eigelbe und Eiswasser dazugeben, untermischen und so lange kneten, bis alles zusammenkommt – den Teig nicht zu viel bearbeiten. Zu einer Kugel formen, flachdrücken und in Klarsichtfolie wickeln. Für etwa 2 Stunden in den Kühlschrank legen.
2. Während der Teig ruht, den Rhabarber putzen und in 7cm lange Stücke schneiden. Zucker, Wasser und Zitronensaft in eine große Pfanne geben. Wenn der Rhabarber mehr grün als rot aussieht, kann man hier noch einige Himbeeren mit ins Spiel bringen, um den Rhabarber “einzufärben” (optional). Die Mischung zum Kochen bringen, den Rhabarber dazugeben und für etwa 2-3 Minuten köcheln lassen – Rhabarber dabei öfter vorsichtig wenden. Der Rhabarber sollte glänzen, aber nicht weich werden. Rhabarberstücke herausnehmen und die Flüssigkeit weitere 2-3 Minuten köcheln lassen, damit sie weiter eindicken kann. Den Rhabarber in eine flache Schüssel geben und den Sirup darüber gießen. Abkühlen lassen, dann für etwa 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank stellen, um vollständig abzukühlen.
3. Für die Frangipane die gemahlenen Mandeln, braunen Zucker und Mehl in eine Schüssel geben und vermischen. Die weiche Butter, das Ei und den Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und zu einer glatten Masse verrühren. Zur Seite stellen.
4. Den Ofen auf 190°C (375°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Den Teig auf einem Stück Backpapier zu einem Kreis mit etwa Ø 33cm (13 inches) ausrollen. Man kann den Teig auch etwas größer ausrollen und dann den Kreis ausschneiden für eine saubere Kante. Den Teigkreis samt Backpapier auf ein Backblech legen. Die Frangipane Masse auf dem Teig verteilen – dabei einen etwa 4cm breiten Rand frei lassen. Den Rhabarber aus dem Sirup fischen, kurz abtropfen lassen (Sirup auffangen) und dann in einem Zickzack Muster auf die Frangipane Masse setzen. Man muss an den Rändern den Rhabarber ggf. etwas zuschneiden, damit die Ränder des Musters rund bleiben. Den Teig über den Rhabarber falten, den Rand mit dem verquirlten Eigelb bestreichen und mit einigen gehobelten Mandeln bestreuen. Die Galette nach Belieben noch mit etwas grobem Zucker bestreuen und für etwa 25 Minuten backen. Die Ränder sollten gut Farbe bekommen haben und der Rhabarber weich sein. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Backblech ein wenig auskühlen lassen. Die Galette kann warm oder kalt serviert werden – dazu passt etwas Eis oder Sahne prima.
