Cajun Week Day 7!
It’s Day 7 people, Feed Your Soul Too and I, have really cooked some wonderful Cajun food this week. I couldn’t end Cajun Week without bringing you something real sweet and simple. I decided to make my peach cobbler and turn it into a rustic tart…that’s all there is to a gallete. It’s sounds a lot fancier than it really is.
Take some flour, sugar, butter, ice water and a little vanilla, add to a food processor and pulse. That’s it, crust complete.
Then take a nice batch of peach cobbler mix. I always keep extra batches of frozen peach cobbler mix in the freezer so if company comes over all I have to do is make the dough.
Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, transfer to a baking sheet, add the cobbler mix in the middle and roll the side up, however you like them. Don’t get fancy here people, this is suppose to look rustic and simple…
Now it’s time to enjoy some Gallette, or as it’s called in Cajun country a rustic pie. Shh..Don’t tell, yes I added a big scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream…Eat Up!
Check out what my friends at Feed Your Soul Too have up there sleeves for day 7 of Cajun Week! Andouille and Chicken Etouffee.

That looks fantastic! I sure wish we could get decent peaches in the midwest. Everything that gets shipped up here is hard as concrete and never quite ripens properly. I remember picking ripe peaches off my great uncle’s tree. There’s nothing quite like a ripe peach fresh from the tree. Thanks for the memories.

So true Savannagal, But I often use frozen peaches when fresh ones are not in season. It’s not the same, but it will do when one is craving peach cobbler…lol
