I have just picked a load of rhubarb from my allotment and wondered if you know of any recipe ideas.
p.s. sick of crumble/pie.

I've roasted some rhubarb this week, chop into 3 inch pieces, place on a baking tray, sprinkle caster sugar over, don't know exact amounts and I had to add more towards the end.(3-4 tbs in total I think) Add a few pieces of orange rind, a couple of tablespoons of orange juice, cover with foil. Bake for about 20 mins @ 180C, remove foil, check for sweetness, add more sugar if needed, put back in the oven for another 5 mins. I've been having it with icecream, mixing it with cold custard and adding it to yogurts.

If you have the time and inclination

i just stew it with juice and zest of orange and sugar then have it with vanilla ice cream. or you could mix it with greek yoghurt to make a fool type thing.

nigella lawson is bit of a rhubarb obsessive so you will find plenty of recipes in her books.

I make Rhubarb Crumble Ice-cream which is yummy. My strange lot like it even better without the crumble and with less sugar than suggested.

I stew it, whizz in the blender and make Ice cream with it.

rhubarb fool - stew rhubarb, add whipped cream and custard...yummy!

Kathyis6incheshigh · 02/05/2008 17:46

Stewed (or roasted as Brightwell says), served with sliced banana - classic combo.

Jamie (Naked Chef 1 or 2) has you putting it at the bottom of creme brulee, which I have done several times and it's amazing.

Had it with gammon the other week - vg.

Rhubarb tart

Rhubarb meringue pie

Rhubarb pavlova

The Jamie one I am going to do is from Jamie At Home and it's a sort of rhubarb and custard souffle.

SlartyBartFast · 02/05/2008 17:47

The other day I made a rhubard sponge pudding. I put ginger preserve and sugar in with the chopped rhunbarb in a dish and covered with a sponge mix with almonds in it. Cook for 50 mins and serve with custard or cream. It was delicious.

SauerKraut · 07/05/2008 16:46

Hey, can I still eat mine if it's growing those humungous big yellow nobby things?

Kewcumber · 07/05/2008 16:54

stew rhubarb in raspberry jelly (sugar free if you're on a diet) tastes really nice.

Don't have a recipe but the Leon cafe chain are doing a lovely summer drink at the momnet - rhubarb and apple cooler with vanilla. Can't be too difficult to recreate.

I've got a recipe for a rhubarb and cream sponge cake from a magazine if you want it. Looks like a victoria sponge with rhubarb in the middle.

Bellie · 07/05/2008 16:56

These are lovely crumble cake squares

Nigel Slater - Slow-baked rhubarb with vanilla and blood orange

A sharply refreshing warm pudding. Serves 4.

450g rhubarb
a vanilla pod
the juice of 2 blood oranges and the zest of 1
3 level tbsp golden caster sugar

Set the oven to 160C/gas mark 4. Cut the rhubarb into lengths roughly the size of a finger and put them into a baking dish. Scrape the seeds from inside the vanilla pod and mix with the juice and zest of one of the oranges and the juice of both. Add the sugar then pour over the rhubarb and toss gently so that each piece of fruit is wet. Roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and tender. Serve warm, in bowls, with the hot orangey-vanilla juices spooned over.
