Today a friend mentioned she'd heard about finely chopped rhubarb being used in CHILI! I had never thought of this, but it does make sense. So that started me thinking, what else would rhubarb go well in? Salsa, maybe? Tomato sauce, maybe? Pizza, crazy!?! I think the possibilities are endless.
Do you have a favorite way to use rhubarb? Let us know in the comments below. I know I'd love to learn more ways to use this awesome fruit (or is it vegetable?).
I found this recipe for Roasted Rhubarb in my Simply in Season cookbook and I think it will be a new recipe I try this spring!
Roasted Rhubarb
4 c. rhubarb, chopped
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. orange or lemon juice
2 T. candied ginger or fresh ginger root (minced)
1 t. orange or lemon peel (grated)
Combine in a baking pan. Spread evenly and bake in preheated oven at 450 degrees until rhubarb is soft but retains its shape, about 25 minutes. Stir, cool slightly, and serve with ice cream or yogurt.
