My purple week end

I love the color of the beets, Beautiful. And of course, I love the flavor.Is another ingredient that I use for sweet and savory dishes, I wanted to get away from  beet salads and do something different.

I had a pizza dough leftover  in the freezer freezer that I had made during the week and beets still in the fridge

I thought in tart, but opt for an galette, but I choose it  for its shape than otherwise. For those who do not know, a galette is the term used to designate various types of flatten  and free-form tarts, that can be sweet or savory

And was what I did, filled with beets with truffle oil and shallots and dressing with sour cream 

And on Sunday we were at home with my in-laws and friends who stayed for lunch. My friend kindly offered to bring dessert.

What she brought us was delicious pears in Burgundy that we accompany with vanilla ice cream A cute color for a Sunday that started with rain and some hail, but with the passing of the hours turned into a beautiful and enjoyable day. That's how my week was., full of strong colors like glimpsing the spring

Hope you like it, despite the fact that maybe  are uncommon. This tarte / galette,  is delicious mainly for those who like beets as me
