Curried cauliflower soup is what I will be having for lunch every day this coming week. I used this recipe that I made several times last year.
I love the flavor of curry. I also love the color of curry. I do not like how it turns my stick blender yellow but it always comes out eventually.
Because cauliflower soup is really healthy I decided to balance it out with some experimental pecan pie baking. Dottie gave me the "At Home with the Range Cafe" cookbook last year. Today was the perfect day to pull it out.
It has a phyllo crust. I have never worked with phyllo before. I will definitely be doing it again. This is a typically rich pecan pie with maple undertones. Toasting the pecans adds an extra nice crunch and the phyllo crust is crisp and light. I love the rustic look of a gallette. It will be on the Thanksgiving menu here this year.
I am off to do some more tasting now. When you are doing experimental baking it is important to get the tasting right.
Several of you asked for the recipe... here it is! Enjoy
Your pie/gallette looks great and you are so right that it is very important to get the tasting right! xx

I never thought of a rustic pecan pie or of using phyllo for it but I like that idea. You are kindness personified to taste thoroughly for us.
