I made the first rhubarb crisp of the season this past Sunday evening. I went out to my backyard the other day and noticed the rhubarb had started growing like crazy. There was a ton ready to pick (I inherited 10-12 rhubarb plants with my house), so I figured I'd better get started on using it up. A friend of mine gave me a super-easy rhubarb crisp recipe last year that has been a big hit when I bring it to work or other spring/summer get-togethers. It really doesn't get much better than this in terms of bang for your buck. It's so easy and taste so good.
Microwave Rhubarb Crisp Recipe
Ingredients:
4-5 cups sliced rhubarb
2/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. rolled oats
2/3 c brown sugar
3/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/3 c. soft butter or margarine
Instructions:
1. Combine rhubarb and sugar in 8 inch baking dish.
2. In mixing bowl, blend remaining ingredients until crumbly.
3. Sprinkle over rhubarb.
4. Microwave uncovered on high for 12 minutes or until rhubarb is tender, rotating dish once or twice. Topping becomes more crisp as it cooks. For crisper topping, broil a few minutes.
5. Serve with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy! Also, I highly recommend heating up when
I've got a lot of rhubarb so please, share with me your favorite rhubarb recipe so I can try it out next!
Got me some rhubarb! Getting ready to crisp it up! :)
Is it possible to bake it instead of microwaving? (well, obviously, I guess, but any idea how much time and at what temp?)
