Ready for Rhubarb

E-mail story Post a comment iPod friendly version

It won’t be long before bright red rhubarb starts showing up at the market, so it’s time to get out those heirloom recipes, or perhaps to clip some new ones.

I don’t know much about rhubarb so I did some research Even though it looks a little bit like chard, the greens are toxic. The stalks look like celery, but rhubarb is officially a fruit, not a vegetable. And it’s tart. Very tart.

Rhubarb is often paired with strawberries since they come to harvest at the same time. The sweetness of the strawberries and the similarity in color help make this a good match. Many people make a pie, but a cobbler will work, too.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP

1 cup white sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 cups sliced fresh strawberries

3 cups diced rhubarb

Crisp:

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup butter

1 cup rolled oats

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix white sugar, three tablespoons flour, strawberries and rhubarb. Pour this into a 9-x-13-inch baking dish.

Mix 1-1/2 cups flour, brown sugar, butter and oats until crumbly. A pastry blender works well for this. Crumble this topping over the rhubarb mixture.

Bake 45 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I recall the pie contest we held back in 2004, and Brelana DeLong’s Apple-Rhubarb pie. Her crust was so delicate and tasty, and there was a lot of discussion about the color, which was your typical white/green cooked apple with streaks of vibrant red. It was a crowd favorite.

1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the crust: Combine everything in a mixer until a ball forms. Divide into two parts and roll out on a floured surface to nine inches. Keep covered with a towel until ready to use.

Peel and core the apples. Slice them up and put them in a gallon sized zip-bag with the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss until coated.
