Roasted Rhubarb Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Rinse the rhubarb and shake off the excess water. Trim the ends and cut the rhubarb into little finger-sized pieces. Put the rhubarb in a shallow dish or baking sheet with sides, tip the sugar over, toss together, then shuffle the rhubarb so it's in a single layer.
• Cover with foil and roast for 15 mins. Remove the foil. The sugar should have dissolved, so give everything a little shake and roast for another 5 mins or until tender and the juices are syrupy. Test with a sharp knife; the rhubarb should feel tender, not mushy, and still have kept its shape.

Steps:

• Cut 3 rhubarb stalks into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a small baking dish and toss with 1/2 cup sugar and a pinch of salt. Roast at 350 degrees F until soft, about 25 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Serve over ice cream or pound cake.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a baking pan and spread out evenly.
• Bake in preheated oven at 450F until rhubarb is soft but still retains its shape (about 25 minutes).
• Stir, cool slightly, and serve with ice cream or yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place rhubarb and ginger in an 8x8" baking dish; scatter sugar over and scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; save pod for another use. Toss and let sit until rhubarb releases some juices, 20-25 minutes.
• Roast rhubarb, tossing once, until tender and juices are syrupy, 20-25 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Serve over ice cream or shortbread.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape the pulp out of the vanilla bean halves and add the pulp to a 1 1/2 quart gratin or baking dish or 9-by-9-inch pan along with the scraped-out pods. (Alternatively, add the paste or extract to the pan.) Add the rhubarb, sugar, zest and salt, and toss well. Let sit at room temperature to macerate while preparing the biscuit dough.
• Make the biscuit dough: Put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add cubed butter, then pulse until the mixture has formed lime bean-size pieces. Drizzle in 1/3 cup heavy cream and pulse until everything just clumps together, taking care not to overprocess. (To make the dough by hand, put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add cubed butter, then mix it in with your hands, pinching and squeezing with your fingers - or use a pastry blender - until the largest pieces are the size of peas. Drizzle in 1/3 cup heavy cream a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.)
• Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently pat it together until it's a cohesive lump. Using a small ice cream scoop or a large spoon, form dough into 6 evenly sized balls. Slightly flatten dough balls into thick rounds. Cover rounds with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes (and up to 6 hours).
• Put the rhubarb in the oven and roast, stirring halfway through, until the rhubarb has softened and the liquid has formed a syrup, about 30 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and use tongs to remove the vanilla bean pods.
• Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees. Arrange biscuit rounds on top of the rhubarb, leaving space in between them. Brush biscuits with remaining tablespoon of heavy cream and sprinkle with Demerara sugar.
• Bake cobbler until biscuits are golden brown, about 25 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, with cream or ice cream, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees, or its highest temperature.
• In a small saucepan, combine rhubarb and sugar.
• Cover and cook over low heat until rhubarb is falling apart, about 20 minutes, adding water if necessary.
• Stir in the lemon juice.
• The sauce should be the consistency of applesauce.
• Arrange salmon filets, skin side down, on a foil or parchment-lined baking pan.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Bake until almost opaque throughout, about 17-20 minutes.
• Spoon rhubarb onto center of warmed plates.
• Lift fillets from pan, leaving skin behind if desired.
• Place fillets on rhubarb.

Steps:

• Trim the ends from the rhubarb and cut into 6 inch lengths. Soak in a large bowl full of cold water for 20 minutes. Drain and pat dry, then cut crosswise into 1/2 inch slices.
• In a saucepan, stir together the orange juice, 1 cup of sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and add the rhubarb. Return to a boil, then set heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring only 2 or 3 times, until rhubarb is tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Stirring too much will cause the rhubarb to break down. Transfer the rhubarb mixture to a glass or ceramic bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
• Whip the heavy cream with the remaining sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until it can stand in a soft peak.
• To assemble the fools, spoon 1/4 cup of the rhubarb mixture into each of 8 small glasses. Cover with the same amount of whipped cream. Repeat layers until you reach the top of the glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours before serving.
