Rhubarb Crisp

Time: 1 hour.
Complexity: easily

Although rhubarb is considered a vegetable, it is widely used in the West in sweet baked goods and jams. Its tartness lends a distinctive flavor and aroma to pies. In America, the most common rhubarb dessert is crisp—a casserole with a tender filling and a crunchy topping. Rhubarb chunks are placed in a baking dish, sprinkled with sugar and flour to thicken the juices, and topped with a mixture of butter, nuts, oats, and spices. After baking, the butter-soaked oats become very crispy and delicious. Serve crisp with tea or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Prepare the topping by placing all ingredients in a food processor. Process until the mixture is pea-sized. Do not overprocess. Place the rhubarb in a large, shallow baking dish and sprinkle with 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar and 3 tablespoons flour, coating evenly. Spread the crisp topping over the entire surface. Bake until bubbling and golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Serve the crisp warm or at room temperature, as is, or with ice cream.
