Rhubarb information

Rhubarb is a Perennial plant of the polygonaceae family. His name comes from Latin Rheubarbarum who means “barbaric root”. I read that it was called so because it was consumed by foreign peoples, the barbarians therefore. To be checked.

You can easily grow it in your vegetable patch. It is a rustic plant Who resists cold And Don’t ask for too much care. He needs a fresh and well -drained land and above all a lot of water.
A little space Also because its stems and leaves spread out. If you plant it, provide at least 1 m² per foot!

The season is from April to the summer, July officially but we can often harvest until the start of the September school year.

In Includes, jam, pie, cake, or even in salted or juice dishes. A multitude of possibilities to enjoy its light tangy taste.

Choose very firm stems and a good diameter. The color varies a little depending on the varieties but Red red sticks are wages of good maturity. Too green stems can be more acidic.

The pie dough: I use a shortbread Because rhubarb not being very sweet, I am not likely to have a rendering too sweet. But there Everything is possible: sweet, broken or even puff pastry.

The device: I Arrange the fruits on the spread dough in a mold preferably metallic (the dough will be more crisp than if you use a porcelain or glass pie pan).

Then I pour a device made of beaten eggs with a little brown sugar. Not too much, we don’t want an overly sweet dessert.
And also, this is optional but I find that it is better giving a more creamy rendering, A little milk that can be replaced by vegetable milk.

This device is a bit like the grandmother of old -fashioned pies, as I do for my Norman apple pie that you like a lot if I believe your feedback.

When I use rhubarb in cakes or clafoutisI tend to Cut the stems into sections and have them disgorge a little while in sugar. This tender and allows them to better integrate into cake pasta. This is the case in my clafoutis with rhubarb and red fruits.
