rhubarb season is upon us! okay, so it has been for a few weeks. but, oh! just when i think it is the end of rhubarb at the farmer's market, i see more. and so i keep buying more. usually i can't stray from my usual rhubarb compote recipe, which is so easy and so delicious (chopped rhubarb with water and some sugar, simmered for 10 min). but this year i have branched out with rhubarb cake, roasted rhubarb and rhubarb simple syrup that i put into mojitos. i have one last big bunch of rhubarb before i cut myself off and i want to ask you what i should do with it. i had originally intended to make rhubarb ice cream or sorbet this season and that is still an option.
but, i want to know, what is your favorite way to eat rhubarb? any special recipes? from simple to elaborate, bring it on.
p.s. jon took this pretty pictures of our csa rhubarb.
I made strawberry rhubarb sorbet (from David Lebovitz's "Perfect Scoop." Easy, tasty and very refreshing!
ReplyDeletei LOVE rhubarb! my favorite way to eat it recently has been a compote. a few stalks boiled down with water and sugar. i eat the warm, pink mush over thick greek yogurt! delish!

Mmm rhubarb! I love a simple compote over just about anything, and made a crumble a few days ago. I seem to never get beyond those two recipes!

ReplyDeleteI make the same compote recipe as you, and it is always so delish! But lately I have really loved the recipe Molly posted on her blog, originally from Canal house cooking - it is very addictive!
