favorite way to eat rhubarb?

[Karamom]

There are a lot of veggies out there that I haven't tried cooking before so I decided that every couple of weeks I'm going to try something new that's in season. This time I want to try rhubarb. (Is that a veg or a fruit?)

I have had it before in strawberry-rhubarb pie which was delicious but I want to find something with less sugar. So, how do you like rhubarb?

Rhubarb custard pie. Not sure that has any less sugar, though.

I believe technically it's a vegetable, but it's usually treated as a fruit.

Yes - I've never seen savoury recipes for rhubarb, just sweet ones. Favourites include rhubarb crumble (Jamie Oliver has a nice recipe), pies and stewed rhubarb with custard mmmmm

I love it as pie, I add very little sugar if I have sweet strawberries, it comes out fine.

Of course I do strawberry rhubarb pie

I've read it can be a nice sauce for pork so I want to try that. Still add a bit of sweetener, but not so much as a dessert.

Yeah, rhubarb sauce with pork is super yummy, especially pureed with sweet onion. Check out this site as well: http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/recipe-index.html

Here's a recipe for rhubarb brownies that was a hit at my house:

rhubarb brownies

Ingredients:

* 1-1/2 tsp Liquid Stevia (flavor of choice) or honey
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp vanilla
* 1/2 cup coconut flour
* 1 cup rhubarb, chopped or pureed

Directions:

In a saucepan at low heat, blend together coconut oil and carob powder. Remove from heat and let cool. In a bowl, mix together eggs, stevia, liquid stevia, salt and vanilla. Whisk coconut flour into batter until there are no lumps. Fold in rhubarb. Pour batter into a greased 11 x 7 x 2 inch or 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 20.

The other day I was at our natural foods co op and they had raw rhubarb slices for dipping in agave syrup. It was really good!

stewed rhubarb, rhubarb pie (minus the strawberries; I like it better), rhubard crisp, salsas, juice it and add to lemonade,or eat it raw. Just be sure that you don't eat the leaves or roots. Only eat the stalks. Since rhurbard is is very sour, like lemons, the recipes usually contain a great deal of sugar. Here's what Google has: http://www.google.com/search?q=rhuba...ient=firefox-a
