RHUBARB CRISP



Rhubarb Crisp image

When you think of rhubarb you probably think of strawberry-rhubarb pie, a quintessential spring dessert, especially if it's made by someone who makes good pies. I usually manage around one pie crust annually, so I need alternatives. Thus, when the spring's first rhubarb shows up, I adjust the execution and produce a crisp. If rhubarb is young and fresh, you can trim it in seconds. If it has fibrous outer strings, peel them off as you would those of celery. Toss the rhubarb with orange or lemon juice and zest, and only a little sugar. (You can also substitute strawberries for some of the rhubarb if you want the classic combination.) Blend the ingredients for the crisp topping in a food processor, crumble the topping over the rhubarb mixture, and bake - it is nearly effortless and as good or better than a pie.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for greasing pan
2 1/2 to 3 pounds rhubarb, trimmed, tough strings removed, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 to 6 cups)
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon orange or lemon juice
1 teaspoon orange or lemon zest
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste
Pinch salt
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking or gratin dish with a little butter. Toss rhubarb with white sugar, orange or lemon juice and zest, and spread in baking dish.
  • Put the 6 tablespoons butter in a food processor along with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, and pulse for about 20 or 30 seconds, until it looks like small peas and just begins to clump together. Add oats and pecans and pulse just a few times to combine.
  • Crumble the topping over rhubarb and bake until golden and beginning to brown, 45 to 50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tart rhubarb: The best rhubarb for crisp is young and tender, with bright red stalks and a tart flavor. Avoid rhubarb that is woody or has brown spots.
  • Cut the rhubarb into small pieces: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a combination of oats, flour, and sugar for the topping: This will give the crisp a crispy texture and a sweet, nutty flavor.
  • Add some spices to the topping: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger will enhance the flavor of the crisp.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling: This will take about 30-40 minutes.
  • Serve the crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This will make it extra delicious!

Conclusion:

Classic rhubarb crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its tart rhubarb filling and crispy oat topping, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some fresh rhubarb, be sure to give this recipe a try!
