Rhubarb Ginger Cinnamon Crumble
Serves: 2 people
Takes: 30 mins to 1 hour
You never need an excuse to tuck into a fruit crumble and it’s always great to use fruits that are at their very best when they are in season.
Ingredients
400g forced rhubarb or around 5 long sticks, cleaned and cut into 1 inch lengths
1 inch root ginger, grated
zest and juice of 1 orange
6 tablespoons brown sugar
30g butter, cold and cut into small cubes
55g plain flour
small handful hazelnuts, roughly chopped
¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
Put the rhubarb, ginger and orange zest in a heat proof baking dish and turn the heat on.
Sprinkle over around 4 tablespoons of the sugar and give the dish a good shake to mix all the flavours together.
Whilst the sugar starts to caramelize start making your crumble topping.
Rub the butter and flour together using your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir in the remaining sugar, hazelnuts and cinnamon powder.
Sprinkle it generously all over the rhubarb and pop the dish in the oven.
Bake for around 40 minutes or until the crumble has started to turn golden brown. Serve hot with ice cold cream or warm custard.
