Rhubarb And Ginger Brulee Recipes

Steps:

• Put the rhubarb in a pan with the sugar and chopped ginger. Cook over a low heat for 10 mins or until the rhubarb has softened and begun to break down. Mix a little of the rhubarb juice with the cornflour in a small bowl, then pour into the pan and stir until thickened. Pour into the base of a round roughly 20cm dish. Leave to cool completely.
• For the custard, pour the double cream, sugar and vanilla pod (as well as the scraped-out seeds) into a pan and bring to a simmer. Scoop out the pod and discard. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and gradually pour over the simmering cream, whisking continuously. Pour the mixture back into the pan. Cook over a low heat, continuously stirring, for around 10 mins until it reaches 86C on a cooking thermometer, or is thickened. Pour over the cooled rhubarb, smooth to an even layer and chill overnight.
• Sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top and caramelise using a blowtorch until deep golden brown. Serve.

Steps:

• Chop rhubarb into 2.5 cm chunks.
• Put with demerara sugar, ground ginger, and candied ginger; toss.
• Put in baking dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Stir rhubarb; turn over; bake for 15 minutes more until tender.
• When cooked cool completely.
• Tilt pan so juices come out; press with slotted spoon. Take juices out.
• Turn on broiler.
• Beat cream until thickened.
• Combine yogurt and thick cream; pour over rhubarb. Spoon it evenly over the top, making sure it goes right to edge of dish.
• Spoon sugar over the cream right to the edges.
• Place under broiler; broil until sugar bubbles and turns golden brown; this will take 8 minutes. Watch this time; she is working with an English stove which I am sure is different.
• Take out and cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. and butter a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish.
• Make filling:
• Cut enough rhubarb crosswise into 1/4-inch slices to measure 6 cups and arrange in one layer in baking dish. Bake rhubarb, uncovered, in middle of oven, 1 1/4 hours. Transfer hot rhubarb to a bowl and stir in sugar until combined well. Cool filling. Filling may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring filling to room temperature before proceeding.
• Reduce temperature to 325°F.
• Make custard:
• In a bowl whisk together yolks and granulated sugar. In a small heavy saucepan heat cream with gingerroot over moderately high heat until it just comes to a simmer. Add cream mixture to egg mixture in a stream, whisking, and skim off any froth.
• Divide filling among six 3/4-cup flameproof ramekins and divide custard over filling. Put ramekins in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up sides of ramekins. Loosely cover pan with foil and bake custards in middle of oven until just set but still trembling slightly, about 50 minutes. Remove ramekins from pan and cool custards on a rack. Chill custards, loosely covered with plastic wrap, until cold, at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days.
• Just before serving, sprinkle 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar evenly over each custard and caramelize with blowtorch, moving flame evenly back and forth just over sugar (alternatively, broil custards under a preheated broiler set 2 to 3 inches from heat) until sugar is evenly melted and deep golden.
