'Shootin up'
Rhubarb is a good source of calcium, fibre and Vit' C and is known to reduce heartburn, cholestrol, hot flushes (for menopausal ladies) and protect against infection! Eat it raw at your pearl....potty!
I'm not a very measured cook but here's the recipe....roughly!:
Pastry base:
100g Butter
21/2 cups plain flour (add some wholemeal to the mix if you want)
2 tbsp sugar
1 egg for binding
1 tsp baking powder
Filling:
2 cups Turkish yogurt (or greek)
1/2 cup cream
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp flour or potato flour
Sautéed rhubarb slices
Vanilla powder as you like it
Pre-heat oven to 200 'C, par cook pastry base, mix up the filling then pour into base and arrange the slices. Cook for 30mins.
Rhubarb and kittens grow abundantly in Scotland and are said to be some of the few things that you can still get your hands on for free! Our vegetable patch is occasionally visited by neighbouring kitties but right now they are shooed-off as we are preparing the soil to plant our seeds & seedlings. A sure sign that it's planting & growing time is when the Rhubarb starts shootin-up!
As a sweeeeet, Sunday night, treat I took a small harvest from the veg patch and set to a Rhubarb & Custard pie:
