Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp {New} + 6 More Favorite Rhubarb & Strawberry Recipes to Make Right Now
|
Hi Friends, Last month, after finally getting this blueberry crisp recipe to a happy place — where the topping didn't disappear into the fruit below, and the filling didn't taste overly sweet — I began experimenting with other fruit, namely the classic combination of strawberries and rhubarb. The beauty of pairing strawberries with rhubarb is twofold: one, the flavors complement each other, and two, it allows you to use less sugar, as the strawberries provide a nice amount of sweetness. Unlike the blueberry crisp recipe, in which I removed all of the sugar from the filling, I was not able to do that here — I tried! The rhubarb is just too tart and needs a little bit more sugar than the strawberries can provide on their own. The upshot of leaving some of the sugar in the filling is that it allows you to use the lemon-sugar trick: zest a lemon into the sugar, then rub the zest into it — this releases the oils in the lemon, heightening the lemon flavor. (Learned this trick from Dorie Greenspan via the Martha Stewart Show years ago, and I use it every chance I get.) Though I have only tried lemon, I think orange or lime would work well here, too. Get the crisp recipe here and find a few more favorite rhubarb and strawberry recipes below.

As noted a few newsletters ago, recently my daughter and I dined at a local restaurant whose menu featured eggplant meatballs with Hazan tomato sauce and housemade ricotta. I ordered them, loved them, and began experimenting with various recipes in the days that followed. One method called for sautéing diced eggplant, skin and all, before puréing the flesh with seasonings and binders; another called for roasting the eggplant whole before doing the same. One method called for pan-frying the...
One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is how to add X, Y, or Z ingredients to my loaf of sourdough bread. I have always added inclusions during the stretch and fold phase of the sourdough bread baking process, and as such, I have advised doing so upon being asked. Recently, I saw a recipe for an olive sourdough bread recipe that employs a different technique: lamination. Lamination calls for spreading the dough into a thin rectangle, scattering the inclusions over the top, then...
This week I found myself at home with one child and a broken refrigerator. It felt like the universe was telling me to go out to eat, to go have dinner with my 15-year-old, to go anywhere that won't distract from a conversation with my eldest, who seems happier and happier to slip away to her room for hours on end. And so I did, first to a local sushi restaurant, Wasabi, which we know and love, and last night, to Innovo Kitchen, a place I don't know well at all but whose patio, this time of...
