Sweet Potato Blueberry Galette Recipe

Introducing: Sweet Potato and Blueberry Galette

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a delightful and unexpected recipe that combines the earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes with the tart juiciness of blueberries in a rustic galette. This dish came to me as I was inspired by the vibrant colors of spring produce at the farmer’s market, and I couldn’t resist creating something special to capture the essence of the season.

Preparation

To make this unique galette, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 store-bought pie crust

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• rolling pin
• baking sheet
• parchment paper
• knife

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the pie crust on the parchment paper to form a rough circle, leaving about a 2-inch border. Sprinkle the cornmeal over the pie crust, then layer the sweet potato slices and blueberries in the center, leaving the border untouched.

Next, drizzle the honey over the sweet potatoes and blueberries, then sprinkle with salt, ground cinnamon, and lemon zest. Dot the top with cubed cold butter for extra richness. Carefully fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, pleating as you go to create a rustic galette shape.

Baking and Serving

Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the sweet potatoes are tender. Once baked, let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. This galette is best served warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Tips

For an extra special touch, try adding a sprinkle of chopped pecans or a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the galette before serving. The nuttiness and acidity will enhance the flavors and add a layer of complexity to this already unique dish.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 800 grams, with 6 servings, each weighing around 133 grams. One serving is approximately 250 calories.
