Rhubarb

[Mendoza]

I've been given 6 sticks fresh from the allotment, and I dont think Ive ever cooked with the stuff before.

Anyone got any great recipes for anything involving rhubard, it doesnt have to a crumble (which is the only thing I can think of)

The mother in law always cooks some sort of lamb and rhubarb meal which is pretty tasy i must say!

The leaves are delicious in a salad.

It cooks very well in the microwave, though you may have to ditch some of the liquid. You could make a FOOL.

Strange how some things will poison you, but the same plant is normal food in other circumstances. I learned that potatoes are poisonous for us raw, but not when cooked.

Potato fruit is very poisonous - same family as deadly nightshade IIRC.

During World War I rhubarb leaves were recommended as a substitute for other veggies that the war made unavailable. Apparently there were cases of acute poisoning and even some deaths!

holy shit bags mendozzle!

Nigella does a good ice cream otherwise I'd go for a fool.

rhubarb crumble. Just stick a crumble topping on (flour/butter), some sugar and stick it in the oven for about 40 mins on a low heat.

 

[glasfryn]

cut it up put it on a tray sprinkle with caster sugar and in the oven cooks in its own juice
very nice with vanilla ice cream.

Pie. with Ginger and sugar. Easy and delicious.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Chop it into 2" lengths, throw in a pan with a little sugar and cook it until the fruit "slumps". Put it in a bowl to cool. Fantastic scooped onto ice cream or piled into the middle of a hot bowl of custard.

Rhubarb sorbet.

Boil 250ml of water with 250g caster sugar and the juice of one small lemon, until the sugar is dissolved. Leave aside to cool.

In another pan, boil the chopped rhubarb (about 750g-1kg) for one minute. Cool, then purée the rhubarb in a blender.

Add the cooled sugar syrup to the pulped rhubarb, and place in a sealed plastic container and put in the freezer. Stir every once every hour or so to stop any ice crystals forming. After 4-6 hours, you have your rhubarb sorbet.

Rhubard and Custard! (and I dont mean the cartoon - although I used to enjoy that as well!)
