RHUBARB CRISP



Rhubarb Crisp image

This rhubarb crisp recipe is special for two reasons. First, it's a variation on our classic Apple Crisp recipe, a time-tested crisp that's both foolproof and beloved. Second, we omitted rhubarb's usual companions (we're looking at you, strawberries) and added some sugar for sweetness, so the signature tang of this stalky vegetable really shines through. Topped with a layer of buttery oatmeal streusel and baked until bubbly, this recipe delivers rhubarb crisp in its purest and most delicious form!

RHUBARB CRISP



Rhubarb Crisp image

I found this strawberry rhubarb crisp recipe on a box of Quaker Oats about 20 years ago. It's quick and easier to make than pie. It's versatile, too, because you can add strawberries in spring or apples in fall. I usually pop it into the oven shortly before we sit down to eat so it's still warm for dessert! -C.E.

RHUBARB CRISP



Rhubarb Crisp image

When you think of rhubarb you probably think of strawberry-rhubarb pie, a quintessential spring dessert, especially if it's made by someone who makes good pies. I usually manage around one pie crust annually, so I need alternatives. Thus, when the spring's first rhubarb shows up, I adjust the execution and produce a crisp. If rhubarb is young and fresh, you can trim it in seconds. If it has fibrous outer strings, peel them off as you would those of celery. Toss the rhubarb with orange or lemon juice and zest, and only a little sugar. (You can also substitute strawberries for some of the rhubarb if you want the classic combination.) Blend the ingredients for the crisp topping in a food processor, crumble the topping over the rhubarb mixture, and bake - it is nearly effortless and as good or better than a pie.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for greasing pan
2 1/2 to 3 pounds rhubarb, trimmed, tough strings removed, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 to 6 cups)
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon orange or lemon juice
1 teaspoon orange or lemon zest
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste
Pinch salt
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking or gratin dish with a little butter. Toss rhubarb with white sugar, orange or lemon juice and zest, and spread in baking dish.
  • Put the 6 tablespoons butter in a food processor along with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, and pulse for about 20 or 30 seconds, until it looks like small peas and just begins to clump together. Add oats and pecans and pulse just a few times to combine.
  • Crumble the topping over rhubarb and bake until golden and beginning to brown, 45 to 50 minutes.

BROWNED-BUTTER RHUBARB CRISP



Browned-Butter Rhubarb Crisp image

Making a crisp is one of the best and easiest ways to highlight seasonal fruit. Crisps come together quickly with no special equipment, and they are a great way to use the odds and ends of fruit in your refrigerator. This recipe highlights one of spring's finest flavors: rhubarb. It is often paired with berries, but here, rhubarb shines on its own, with tart, puckery flavor and gorgeous color. Browned butter and almonds add toasty, nutty notes to the topping, making this an almost-effortless, high-impact dessert. You may notice that 2 tablespoons of the butter aren't browned; they are added to the hot browned butter to cool it down a bit so that you can use it immediately. Feel free to swap an equal amount of rolled old-fashioned oats for the almonds in the topping. Serve this cozy dessert with whipped cream or ice cream, if you like.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/141 grams unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/100 grams light brown sugar
1/2 cup/55 grams sliced almonds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) or ¼ teaspoon fine salt
2 pounds rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces (8 cups)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/113 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Pinch of kosher salt
Vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, brown the butter: Melt 1/2 cup/113 grams of the butter in a small skillet set over medium heat. (Use a skillet with a light interior so you can easily see the milk solids change color.) Cook the butter, stirring occasionally and scraping the milk solids off the bottom and sides of the pan as needed, until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell toasty, a few minutes. Transfer the butter to a medium heatproof bowl. Cut the remaining butter into 2 pieces and add it to the bowl with the hot butter. Stir occasionally until all the butter melts.
  • Add the flour, brown sugar, almonds and salt to the butter, and stir together until evenly combined and clumps form. You may need to use your fingers to do the last bit of mixing.
  • Prepare the rhubarb: In a 9-by-9-inch (or 9-inch round) baking dish, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla paste, orange zest and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined and evenly mixed. Press the rhubarb gently into the pan, then scatter the crumble evenly over the top.
  • Bake until the topping is deep golden brown and the rhubarb juices are bubbling, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool slightly, then serve warm with ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The topping will soften as it sits.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. For this recipe, you'll want to use zucchini that is small and tender. Avoid zucchini that is large and seedy, as it will be less flavorful and have a tougher texture.
  • Don't peel the zucchini. The skin of the zucchini is where most of the nutrients are, so don't peel it before grating it. Just be sure to wash the zucchini thoroughly before using it.
  • Use fresh rhubarb. Fresh rhubarb is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a tart and tangy flavor that pairs well with the sweet zucchini. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb, but be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Don't overcook the crisp. The crisp is done when the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb and zucchini are tender but still have a slight crunch. If you overcook the crisp, the rhubarb and zucchini will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb zucchini crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer. The tart and tangy rhubarb pairs perfectly with the sweet zucchini, and the crunchy oat topping adds a delightful texture. This crisp is also a great way to use up any extra zucchini you may have in your garden. So next time you're looking for a summer dessert, give rhubarb zucchini crisp a try!
