The Secret Ingredient: Cauliflower Crust

Why Cauliflower?

You might be wondering what inspired us to incorporate cauliflower into the crust of this gluten-free strawberry galette. Well, cauliflower is a versatile and nutrient-rich vegetable that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It's an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, and adding it to the crust of your galette is a smart way to sneak in some extra nutrients. Plus, the mild flavor of cauliflower allows it to blend seamlessly into the crust without overpowering the taste of the galette.

How to Rice Cauliflower

Before adding cauliflower to the pie crust, you'll need to turn it into "rice." Here's how:

  1. Remove the leaves and stem from a head of cauliflower.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
  3. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble grains of rice.
  4. Alternatively, you can use a box grater to grate the florets into rice.

Tips for Working with Cauliflower Rice

  • Always use frozen riced cauliflower for this gluten-free strawberry galette. It helps maintain the texture and consistency of the crust.
  • Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the cauliflower rice before incorporating it into the crust. Too much moisture can cause the crust to become soggy.

Let's Talk Strawberries

Choosing the Perfect Berries

The star of this gluten-free strawberry galette is, of course, the strawberries! To make sure your galette is bursting with flavor, follow these tips for selecting the best berries:

  • Look for bright red strawberries with a uniform color.
  • Avoid strawberries that have green or white patches, as they might be underripe.
  • Check for mold or mushy spots before purchasing.
  • Make sure the strawberries are firm but not rock-hard.

Prepping Your Strawberries

Before you toss the strawberries into the filling, you'll need to do a little prep work. Here's how to get your strawberries ready for the galette:

  1. Rinse the strawberries under cold water.
  2. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. Remove the green stems and hull the strawberries.
  4. Slice the strawberries into even pieces.
