Ive been meaning to cook Rhubarb. Never eaten it but looks yummy! Saw this episode from the Cook and the Chef - Maggie Beer's brulee recipe seems pretty simple. Just need to get that blowtorch to do the caramelizing part. oh and those ramekins as well need to see if there's any on sale at Myers.

Posting this is Maggie's Rhubarb crumble Ive been meaning to try before winter ends hehehe- but you can eat it anyway even if its not winter

1 kg rhubarb stalks
2 oranges, zested, juiced
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup caster sugar or 1/4 cup honey

Crumble
140 g unsalted butter cubed and chilled
125g plain flour
80 g dark brown sugar
100 g oats

1) Pre heat oven - 200ºC. Remove leaves off rhubarb and trim brown areas
Wash stalks and string if needed, cut into 4-5 cm pieces
2) Make crumble by rubbing butter into the flour mix with fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs, add sugar and oats, mix by hand
3) Grease moulds/ ramekins. Spread rhubarb out in base and with OJ, zest and cinnamon, sprinkle with sugaror honey. Spread crumble mix on top evenly
4) Bake for 20-25 minutes or til golden and first signs appear of rhubarb juices rising up in the sides. Servew with rich cream.

I for one think this would be great with vanilla ice cream... but since I havent tried it, I can only imagine for now hehehe
