Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 habanero, Scotch bonnet, or Thai chile, with seeds, stemmed
2 garlic cloves
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts divided
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
6 large skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups 1/4" cubes rhubarb
1 cup 1/4" cubes unpeeled seeded English hothouse cucumber
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pulse chile, garlic, and white parts of scallions in a food processor until finely chopped. With machine running, drizzle in soy sauce, then olive oil; process until emulsion forms. Transfer sauce to a bowl.
  • Place chicken thighs, skin side up, on a work surface and slash each crosswise at 3/4" intervals down to the bone. Season lightly with salt. Place on prepared baking sheet and brush with sauce. Bake until skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 20-25 minutes. Broil on high for an additonal 2-3 minutes for crisper skin, if desired. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss rhubarb, next 5 ingredients, and green parts of scallions in a medium bowl to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and let stand for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Serve chicken with rhubarb salsa alongside.

TANGY RHUBARB SALSA



Tangy Rhubarb Salsa image

This is a recipe I came up with while trying to figure out what to do with an over-abundance of rhubarb. I'm not fond of sugary, syrupy rhubarb sauces but I love rhubarb and I love salsa, so I figured why not put them together! Just grab a bag of tortilla chips, or better yet make your own, and enjoy! Feel free to adjust ingredients to your liking. Don't like jalapenos? Don't use them. Mix and match peppers however you like, just be sure to use 3 of them. Also, I prefer Nellie and Joe's® lime juice because it's a bit more tart than regular bottled or fresh-squeezed lime juice, but if you can't find it that's fine, just use what you have.

RHUBARB SALSA



Rhubarb Salsa image

I don't think there are enough recipes that celebrate rhubarb in a savory recipe. I love it in pie with strawberries and other desserts but this recipe is a little different. I like to put this salsa on top of fish or meat. It also works well on top of other vegetables like braised artichokes or roasted potatoes. When you cook rhubarb, know that it goes from being crunchy to mush in a matter of seconds. Take care to cook it quickly if you want to retain the firm texture.

Time 31m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons drained capers, coarsely chopped
15 gherkins, finely chopped
1 small clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 stalks (medium-size) rhubarb, outer layer peeled
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the parsley, capers, gherkins, garlic, smooth mustard and grainy mustard. Whisk to blend, then add the vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil and combine well. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Put the rhubarb on a flat surface. Use a sharp knife to cut the stalks into 3/4 to 1-inch thick "rounds". Heat a large skillet, over medium heat, and add the canola oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, lower the heat and add the rhubarb. Stir to coat the pieces with the oil. Season with salt and add the honey. Stir to blend. Cook for another minute, until the pieces soften slightly. Immediately transfer the rhubarb to the bowl with the salsa. Toss to blend and refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Use firm, tender rhubarb stalks that are deep red in color. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have woody ends.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Use a variety of fruits and vegetables: In addition to rhubarb, you can add other fruits and vegetables to your salsa, such as tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and peppers. This will give your salsa a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: You can add herbs, spices, and other seasonings to your salsa to taste. Some popular additions include cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice.
  • Let the salsa sit before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. Salsa is best served chilled, so refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to use up fresh rhubarb, and it is also a healthy and flavorful addition to your diet. So next time you have some rhubarb on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
