RHUBARB AND CUSTARD CRUMBLE

rhubarb crumble

Method

  • For the roasted rhubarb, preheat the oven to 200C
  • Cut the rhubarb into 15cm or so lengths (about the length of a wooden spoon-handle) and place in a roasting tin with 2 tablespoons water and juice and zest from orange and the light brown sugar
  • Roast until just soft enough to take the point of a knife, about 10-15 minutes
  • Allow to cool, then drain, reserving the cooking juices
  • In wine glasses, add a layer of the stewed rhubarb and syrup and a layer of custard
  • Place in the fridge to set
  • For the crumble, preheat the oven to 180C
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper
  • Rub the flour, butter, sugar, ginger and almonds together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs
  • Sprinkle the mixture onto the lined baking tray and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the crumble is crunchy and golden-brown
  • Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely
  • Once the rhubarb and custard has set, top with baked rhubarb pieces and some almond crumble

Comments

Rhubarb and custard are a match made in heaven and a little toasted crumble on top will make it even more memorable.
