Rhubarb Crumble
In Brief
Prep Time : 15 minutes
Cooking Time : 20 minutes
Serves : 10
Rhubarb is one of the great vegetables (which we treat as a fruit most of the time) that we can grow very easily in our climate. May/June is the perfect time for buying it seasonal and local or if your a bit green handed you’ll know how easy it is to grow.
I love making this dessert slightly more savory by using brown flour and oats with a minimal amount of sugar allowing the true flavours of the Rhubarb to shine through.
