TANGY RHUBARB SALSA



Tangy Rhubarb Salsa image

This is a recipe I came up with while trying to figure out what to do with an over-abundance of rhubarb. I'm not fond of sugary, syrupy rhubarb sauces but I love rhubarb and I love salsa, so I figured why not put them together! Just grab a bag of tortilla chips, or better yet make your own, and enjoy! Feel free to adjust ingredients to your liking. Don't like jalapenos? Don't use them. Mix and match peppers however you like, just be sure to use 3 of them. Also, I prefer Nellie and Joe's® lime juice because it's a bit more tart than regular bottled or fresh-squeezed lime juice, but if you can't find it that's fine, just use what you have.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 habanero, Scotch bonnet, or Thai chile, with seeds, stemmed
2 garlic cloves
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts divided
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
6 large skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups 1/4" cubes rhubarb
1 cup 1/4" cubes unpeeled seeded English hothouse cucumber
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Let rest for 5-10 minutes.

RHUBARB SALSA



Rhubarb Salsa image

I don't think there are enough recipes that celebrate rhubarb in a savory recipe. I love it in pie with strawberries and other desserts but this recipe is a little different. I like to put this salsa on top of fish or meat. It also works well on top of other vegetables like braised artichokes or roasted potatoes. When you cook rhubarb, know that it goes from being crunchy to mush in a matter of seconds. Take care to cook it quickly if you want to retain the firm texture.

Categories     condiment

Time 31m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons drained capers, coarsely chopped
15 gherkins, finely chopped
1 small clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 stalks (medium-size) rhubarb, outer layer peeled
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the parsley, capers, gherkins, garlic, smooth mustard and grainy mustard. Whisk to blend, then add the vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil and combine well. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Put the rhubarb on a flat surface. Use a sharp knife to cut the stalks into 3/4 to 1-inch thick "rounds". Heat a large skillet, over medium heat, and add the canola oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, lower the heat and add the rhubarb. Stir to coat the pieces with the oil. Season with salt and add the honey. Stir to blend. Cook for another minute, until the pieces soften slightly. Immediately transfer the rhubarb to the bowl with the salsa. Toss to blend and refrigerate until ready to use.

This is a great recipe for grilled pork or chicken. The original recipe was sent to me from my Aunt Jean. I changed the recipe to include more cinnamon, jalapenos and garlic. I find this is much better-but if the heat scares you de seed the peppers.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm rhubarb stalks for the best flavor and texture. Look for stalks that are deep red in color and have smooth skin.
  • To remove the strings from the rhubarb, use a vegetable peeler to scrape the stalks from top to bottom. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to score the stalks lengthwise and then pull the strings off.
  • If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb instead. Just thaw the rhubarb before using.
  • For a sweeter salsa, add more sugar to taste. For a spicier salsa, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Tangy rhubarb salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Serve it as a dip with chips, tacos, or burritos. Use it as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or pork. Or simply enjoy it as a refreshing snack. With its sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor, rhubarb salsa is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
