Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Step 2
Mix the flour and salt. Work in the butter by hand, in a mixer or in a food processor until the mixture is crumbly. Add just enough water so the dough can be gathered in a ball.
- Step 3
Roll dough in a circle 10 inches in diameter. Set it on a baking sheet.
- Step 4
Mix the pecans and brown sugar together. Sprinkle one-third of this mixture over the pastry, to within an inch of the edge. Toss the rhubarb with one-third of the pecan mixture and spread them over the pecan mixture already on the pastry. Arrange the strawberry halves on top, sprinkle with the remaining third of the pecan mixture and drizzle with melted butter.
- Step 5
Fold in the one-inch border of the pastry, partially covering the edge of the filling.
- Step 6
Bake 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve warm or cooled, with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Raw rhubarb + raw strawberries = Too much liquid for a galette. If I make this again I will cook down the rhubarb before putting into the galette. I had so much liquid leak out and it burned before the tart was cooked. The final flavor was very good, but the liquid meant the bottom was very soggy. I agree with others who said this is a lot of filling for the amount of dough.
I added ginger to the pecan/sugar mix and it was a nice addition.
A couple lessons learned after making this: 1. Man this thing is UGLY. Don't make it if you're trying to impress someone with your ability to make beautiful baked goods. 2. Roll the dough out relatively thin so that it's "foldable" when you fold the edges in. When you put it in the oven, the folded edges will unfold if they're not done well.
In the light of comments about too much filling, I increased the size of the pastry by 1/3. That worked out really well! The full amount of filling made a good heap, and I was afraid it would fall open, but the pastry held. I didn't have pecans so used walnuts -- I chopped them with the sugar in the food processor, dumped them, and used the processor to make the dough. The galette was delicious -- perhaps a little too sweet, but that's easy to adjust to taste.
Yummy! I did about a cup and a quarter to half of rhubarb and strawberries based on others. And also used only about 3/4 of the pecan sugar mix as more would have been too much. I used a store bought wheat pastry crust which took about 5 min off the cook time. I also used dark brown sugar as this is what I had. It was so good.
