Got the best-rhubarb-recipe? Would you let us in on your rhubarb-family-favorite? I used to think the only thing you could make was pies. Whoops...forgot about stewed rhubarb. Didn't think there was anything else. Boy, was I wrong!
It amazes me to see just what can be done with this wonderful plant. There is such a variety of ways to cook it, and it doesn't always have to be in the form of a dessert either.
I've been quite amazed to find out that not only does a simple compote go with just about everything from pancakes to cereal but I'm seeing rhubarb paired with chocolate, fish, pasta (yes, pasta!) and everything else in between.
Though hard to imagine chunks of rhubarb in a salad, many people love this idea too for the crunch and the bite.
In your treasure trove of recipes, is there one hidden gem that that you especially enjoy making? Any wine makers out there? Favorite recipes handed down that Grandma used to make?
It's funny - most people who like rhubarb, seem to have gotten their first taste of it from the Grandparents, like I did.
There seems to be quite an interest in gluten-free and vegan recipes using rhubarb. These are invaluable recipes to many as there are quite a number of recipes as well appearing using rhubarb for diabetics.
Please give us the benefit of your experience cooking with rhubarb.
I've noticed that cocktails are becoming more and more popular.
Invented any of your own lately? I didn't really "invent" a drink combining rhubarb and gin, just my own very simple and easy variation.
I know there are so many great dishes out there still waiting to be discovered. Your rhubarb-recipe-contributions would be so appreciated no matter what you do with it. We would love to know.
(and...rhubarb dishes don't have to be fancy either to taste good!)
As the Chef says, "the kitchen is open" and it is all yours.
