Have always wondered how rhubarb vegetable taste like. Its read in colour and looks very similar to celery but its very tart in taste.
Decided that a crumble would be the wisest choice and adapted
elsie's recipe.
Ingredients Filling:
2 sticks rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small green apple, cut into cubes
1/2 lemon juice
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Crumble topping:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup of butter (1 stick or 4 ounces), cut into cubes
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180C degrees.
2. In a medium sized baking dish, mix together the filling.
3. For the crumble, rub flour and sugar into butter. Add in rest of crumble ingredients and mix until coarse crumbles. Spread topping mixture over rhubarb mixture.
4. Bake in oven for 35-45 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the topping is lightly browned. Let cool for at least a half an hour before serving.
5. Best eaten with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
It was nice, gooey, nutty and lovely with ice cream or cream.
Personally think it tastes even better the next day! Just warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds.
