The Quest Continues: Rhubarb Crumble

I've been on a continuous journey to find a rhubarb recipe that Tamsyn will not only eat, but like. Every Spring when the rhubarb arrives in abundance, I try at least two or three new dishes. So far, the quest has not been successful, but we've eaten some pretty yummy things along the way. Take this latest one for example: delicious! I thought so anyway. Try for yourself and see if you don't agree.

Rhubarb Crumble
(From Simply Recipes by way of Oprah)
Filling
2 lbs rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces (6 cups)
1-1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp ground cardamon

Crumble Topping
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, cut into cubes
1. Preheat oven to 375. In med bowl, mix together the filling ingredients. Spoon into a 9 X 13-inch baking dish.
2. Mix together the flour, salt and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until pieces are pea-sized. Spread topping over rhubarb mixture.
3. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is lightly browned. Let cool for 1/2 hour before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Serves 8.

That sounds yummy. Our rhubarb is flourishing and I have already made five or six pies and given a bunch away. It's almost like zuccini.
