Published: Friday, August 27, 2010When I moved away from Southern California and the first East Coast, I don't understand what this challenge is to find a great tasting fruits and vegetables. After all, the land of sunshine all year round, it is easier to find corn in November. Or Brussels sprouts in July. I had the same circumstances in my new House, but I was missing the wrong. Not only supplies for the season were expensive, they also were quite delicious.I remember my first spring ?????????. It was the long winter was over ??????????, come April, one of my favorite summer fruit is available in abundance: strawberries. Therefore, I was slightly confused, or even angry, I couldn't find them anywhere at the moment April arrived.Ranting, thanks to the HOB (husband of blogger), I asked him what's wrong with this city! (For the record, I happen to love Chicago, now). Calmly, with caution, told me, "honey, here, strawberries are season until June. ' I shouted. After four winter, spring, summer, four at four, three waterfalls in my new home, I know exactly when to expect the best asparagus (may), sour cherries (July), tomatoes (August), apples (September/October) the farmer's market.
On Saturday morning in August fine, I ventured to the market in fruit and find what's arguably my favorites ever, which I couldn't get up until now: with peaches. Again, I saw them here and there in June-July, but their intoxicating fragrance not reading bulk around you until August. I left the market with a pound of sweet peaches, smell a dozen eggs, some local and Arugula this peppery gentleman squab (hoping to blog about this next week!). I knew exactly what I want to make with peach peaches-Galette.Galette is basically a beginning, but what I like about making rustic galettes, distorted form ????? takes. they always appear only came out of a burning stove in the kitchen tree of an old woman in France. To make the dough, cold cut butter into flour, sugar, salt. After the mixture resembles a small pea, two ?????? egg beaten, a little cold water, followed by a more mixed in cold water until the mixture can be made to the disk. The disk is then chilled at least an hour. Fill peach peaches was sliced, peeled clove, a touch of cinnamon and sugar, flour and a glass of some toasted sliced almonds quarter.
After 2 hours, you can retrieve the dough from the refrigerator; ?????? fresh egg, emits gave dough, rich color. But it seems.Dough-it was hell bent on not to collaborate with me no matter how much flour I are no matter how I tried to be gentle, dough kept sticking to my Clipboard, my rolling pin, everything! HOB and SSOB (stepson of blogger) cackled their background, enjoyed the afternoon of Saturday the Xbox game. I had, covered with flour, perspiration, visions of the whole ball of dough to dispatch a television screen, this stick there. After much frustration, I managed to deploy the membrane and allowed it to cookie sheet. Fill Peach was poured, the edges of the crust were folded. From the oven and the Galette was taken.
After dinner we upgraded Galette, pieces of generous glasses of Isabel estuary ourselves. peach notes, I've always ?????? even though I'm not necessarily a fan of sweeter wines. However, because the Galette was sweet, wine tasted more than usual, the start was sublime with dessert. Peaches were juicy, delicious. I think baking or roasting brings out the flavor of their peaches. Almonds were wonderfully nutty, buttery, and was almost a perfect extra hint cinnamon kiss of the Sun. What began as the venture baking the dessert became very frustrating.There are still a few weeks of summer left peaches are good, but I think the next time you create something that does not require all the dough.
