    Do you know rhubarb?

    Rhubarb is a vegetable, however, its culinary uses are those of a fruit: compote, pie, crumble, and jam of course. You only eat the rhubarb’s stalks, as the leaves are considered toxic because they are too loaded with oxalic acid.

    I always have a hard time finding fresh rhubarb in my grocery store when it is in season. But when I find some, I grab all I can because I know that the next time, they will not have anymore. What a shame! I am even thinking to grow some in my garden one day because I really love rhubarb with its unique tangy, fruity flavor.


    I like to make this delicious Rhubarb Pie. Rhubarb pairs well with strawberries and apples.

    Servings 4 -6

    Ingredients
      

    • 800 g rhubarb
    • 150 g sugar
    • 30 g butter
    • 2 eggs
    • 6 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, half and half or crème fraîche
    • 1 teaspoon extract vanilla
    • 1 sweet dough or pie crust from the store

    Instructions
     

    • Peel the rhubarb stalks and cut them into slices or cubes. Mixed them with 100g of sugar and let it macerate for at least 1 hour.
    • Unroll the pie crust and precisely fit it in a tart pan (9 or 11 inches). Poke the dough all over with a fork. Then put the pie in the fridge.
    • Preheat the oven to 390F.
    • Drain the rhubarb in a colander.
    • In a pan, put the butter and lightly cook the rhubarb, stirring from time to time (must stay tender, do not overcook).
    • Remove from the heat and add the rest of the sugar (50 g).
    • In a bowl, mix the egg, cream, and extract vanilla.
    • Put the rhubarb evenly on the sweet dough, pour the mixed cream egg on it.
    • Cook in the oven during 25-30 min.
    • Before serving, sprinkle powder sugar on the pie if you want.
    • This pie can be eaten lukewarm or cold.

    Notes

    How to peel rhubarb:
    • Rhubarb stalk

    • To peel easily the rhubarb, made a slight notch at one end. Then simply pinching the fiber between the knife and the thumb, and pull them down.

      Thank you for the perfect rhubarb pie recipe! I have never been instructed to peel rhubarb, or lightly cook first – I think it made all the difference. I’m looking forward to trying all your recipes.

        In fact, I like to peel the rhubarb to remove the large fibers, but I know that not all people do that. Thank you for visiting my blog.
