Please give me some good, preferably simple, rhubarb recipes. I always say I will do something with rhubarb when it comes in season, but never do.

Rhubarbs + strawberries + sugar + fresh basil x stove top = put in a pie crust and OH MY GOD AMAZING PIE

You cook those goodies together til they get squishy, you shove 'em in a pie crust (which my lazy-ass buys already-baked & frozen) & cover the thing with biscuit dough; that's how I did it!

Also good - grill rhubarb & mango slices, dice finely, mix with finely diced red onion, fresh cilantro & fresh ground black pepper, put on top of veal chop = absurdly nummers (if'n yr a meateater).

Rhubarb Crisp:

Wash Rhubarb and slice into bite-sized pieces. Add sugar at about 1/2 cup to 1 lb. rhubarb and about 1/4 cup of corn starch. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Place in 2-quart baking dish. Mix together-Rolled oats, butter/marg., cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, to make a crumble. Sprinkle over top of rhubarb mixtur and bake for about 1 hour until hot and bubbly. Serve warm or chilled with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Rhubarb Drizzle:

Cook down washed and sliced rhubard with sugar and water, until a syrup is obtained and the rhubarb is softened. Puree, if desired, strain, if desired, or leave large pieces of the fruit. Drizzle over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, french toast, cereal, etc.

Cuisinart. Rhubarb. Tequila or rum. Sprite or seltzer (AFTER the Cuisinart) -- you may want to add sugar if you're using seltzer. Go cat go.

Rhubarb, diced. A little sugar. Apples -- firm, not mushy; chopped. A little Calvados if you have it, fuck it if you don't. Stovetop, simmer, covered, stir with fork occasionally, until you wind up with tarty rhubarbaric applesauce.

There's chilled rhubarb soup, but a lot of people aren't nuts about cold fruit soups, and it's not a recipe I have in my head.

i'm not sure exactly how to make a rhubarb crumble, but i assume you use the recipe of apple crumble, replacing the apples with some stewed rhubarb, and off you go. whipped cream is imperative.

ehtyl, see above for my recipe.

tep, rhubarb is mildly poisonous when uncooked. At the very least it will turn your stomach. For your cocktail, stew the rhubarb with sugar and lemon juice and strain out a syrup from the mush.

Ed (dali), Saturday, 17 May 2003 06:03 (twenty-three years ago)

It's only the stems and leaves that're poisonous, unless UK rhubarb is very different: I ate it daily half the year as a kid.

ROOTS and leaves, I meant ...

See my explanation of how to improve aubergine on the Eggplant Disappointment thread. Same with rhubarb. And most vegetables (except chips and crisps).
