Rhubarb (or whatever is in season) crumble

Ingredients:

  • 400g rhubarb
  • 150g strawberries (optional)
  • 75g sugar
  • 9 teaspoons of Port wine
  • 75g flour
  • 75g oats
  • 50g sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 100g cold butter
  • almond flakes
  • plain ice cream

Methods:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Roughly peel the rhubarb with a knife, no need to be too thorough.
  • Chop the rhubarb into large bite-size pieces, mix with sugar and port directly in the baking dish.
  • In a bowl, mix flour, oats, sugar and salt. Drop in cubes of cold butter. Mix them in with your hands.
  • Shape the butter and flour mixture into clumps of random size and shape and scatter on top of the rhubarb.
  • Bake for 15 min, then scatter almond flakes on top and continue baking for another 15 min (until the rhubarb is tender and the top is crisp and golden).
  • Serve immediately, with a scoop of plain ice cream.

Notes: Works equally well with peaches or plums.
