Do you know the difference between a tart, a galette, and a pie? Well neither did I until I started typing this post. In fact, at first, this post was titled "A Healthy Tart". I wanted to know the difference between a tart and a pie and ended up coming across this website that defined a pie, tart, and a galette. Upon realizing what this actually was (a galette), I retitled the post and started again.
Basically, a pie is a sweet or savory dish with a crust and filling, a tart is again a sweet or savory dish but this time with shallow sides and only a bottom crust, and a galette is again a sweet or savory dish but is a round pastry wrapped and fruit/vegetable dessert/dinner. Galettes are usually baked on a baking sheet. If you would like to know more about these very close but distinct cousins, I got my information off of this site here.
Up here in New England, the weather has been so cold this winter. One of the things that has helped me through these dark, bleak days is this galette. Now, this galette is a one-of a kind galette. I am pretty sure that it is meant to be a pick me up when days get long, tiring, and cold. In fact the name of the recipe is even, "Wintergreen Galette".
Inside the galette is a mix of greens, namely greens such as leeks, kale, and mustard greens. Put all of these together and cooked in a slow saute, then cooked in the dough and you have a recipe for DELICIOUS!!!. In fact, I like the filling so much, that I have even had the filling just plain for dinner. For my crust I used whole-wheat pizza dough, that I bought frozen, defrosted, then rolled out just like I was making my own pizza. Remember that from over a year ago? This recipe is from the blog called The Yellow House. I found it by my mother, who made it one day for me, and it became my new go to.
