Categories     Dessert, Dinner, Lunch

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

700g rhubarb
150ml red wine
3 tbsp redcurrant jelly
pared zest and juice of 1 large orange
2.5cm piece of fresh root ginger , peeled and thinly sliced
85g golden caster sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/ gas 4/fan 160C. Halve the rhubarb lengthways then cut into 5cm lengths. Put the fruit into a small roasting tin just large enough to hold it in a single layer (any larger and too much of the liquid will evaporate during cooking).
  • Add the remaining ingredients and cover with foil. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the rhubarb is just tender.
  • Lift the rhubarb from the cooking liquid with a slotted spoon and put it into a serving dish. Put the roasting tin with the cooking liquid back on the hob and bring to the boil. Bubble for about 5 minutes to reduce it slightly, then remove from the heat.
  • Taste the rhubarb liquid - it should be tart without being sour - and stir in a little extra sugar if necessary, then pour it over the rhubarb. You can serve it warm or chill overnight and serve cold.

Rhubarb Spinach Salad image

This is a sweet, tangy salad with slightly wilted spinach. It comes together super fast and easy, with great results! I used a cranberry sugar vinegar that I made, but you could try red wine vinegar, too.

Provided by Chef Matt

Categories     Salad     Green Salad Recipes     Spinach Salad Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ pound fresh spinach -- cleaned, stemmed, and dried
2 large stalks of rhubarb, cut diagonally into thin slices
water to cover
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons sweet red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Arrange the spinach leaves on a platter.
  • Place the rhubarb in a skillet with enough water to cover by 1 inch; add the sugar. Bring the rhubarb to a gentle boil over medium-low heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the rhubarb is lightly cooked, about 2 minutes. Remove the rhubarb with a slotted spoon and distribute over the spinach.
  • Stir the vinegar into the liquid left in the skillet, raise heat to medium, and bring to a boil. Return heat to medium-low and cook until the liquid has reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, whisk in the olive oil, and pour the hot dressing over the spinach and rhubarb to wilt the lettuce. Divide salad between 2 plates; serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the best rhubarb stalks for the salad: Look for rhubarb stalks that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid stalks that are thin, wilted, or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: To prepare the rhubarb, wash it thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb is a delicate fruit, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy. Cook the rhubarb for just a few minutes, until it is tender but still retains its shape.
  • Use fresh or frozen strawberries: You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries in this salad. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely before adding them to the salad.
  • Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch: If you like, you can add nuts or seeds to the salad for extra crunch. Some good options include chopped walnuts, almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.

Conclusion:

Rosy Rhubarb Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for spring and summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have some rhubarb on hand, give this salad a try!
