Lavender Apricot Galette

Fragrant with the purple flower in all possible forms, this Lavender Apricot Galette is a delectable Summer dessert, and a rather easy one to bake, too! Happy Wednesday!

Ingredients (serves 4):

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon Dried Lavender

3 freshly picked just bloomed lavender flowers

a dozen just ripe apricots, rinsed

2 tablespoons Lavender Liqueur 

1 heaped tablespoon Lavender Honey (I brought this one from Menton last year!)

415 grams/14.6 ounces Almond Pastry 

2 heaped teaspoons Lavender Sugar 

In a large, deep skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.

Once butter is melted, add Dried Lavender and lavender flowers. Cook, 1 minute.

Halve and pit apricots.

When the lavender butter is just foaming, add the apricots, cut-side down. Cook, shaking the skillet over the flame occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Once the apricots are just golden brown on their cut side, deglaze with Lavender Liqueur. Then, drizzle generously with Lavender Honey. Cook until mixture reduces and becomes syrup-y, about 3 to 5 minutes more.

Then, remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.

Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F. Line a baking tray with baking paper; set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out Almond Pastry into a large circle, not too thinly. Trim the edges, and gently place Almond Pastry circle onto prepared baking tray.

Arrange apricot halves, cut side up onto the Pastry, from the centre out, into a circle. Fold the edges of the galette, slightly on top of the apricots.

Sprinkle apricots and Pastry alike with Lavender Sugar.

Place in the hot oven, and bake, at 200°C/395°F, 30 to 35 minutes, until pastry is a nice golden brown colour.

Remove from the heat and scatter fresh lavender flowers on top.

Serve Lavender Apricot Galette warm or cooled, with Kir Royal à la Lavande.

i was certain it was the apricot galette from a certain cookbook, but that one calls for lavender

it's very possible i saw l__ve__ and was like "cool, lemon verbena, that thing i saw at the farmer's market the other week! i'll pick some up next time"

anyway, a different apricot galette with lemon verbena is in the oven right now; hopefully it turns out

i mean the recipe was for a pie, but i didn't want a pie, and i didn't use their crust and instead i used my own, and i swapped one of the five ingredients for the filling, but like. it's a fruitcrust. it's the same. they're all the same. i needed someone to write down the recipe so i could ignore it in specific, like a cat pointedly staring away from you.

it'll probably turn out. the worst that i could do would be burn it or whatever.

saw a recipe calling for lemon verbena; didn't have any

saw lemon verbena today; got some

what the fuck was the recipe i cannot find it
