Liam Neeson and the Rhubarb Crumble
 
Ingredients
  • Filling:
  • 6-1/2 cups rhubarb cut into 1-inch cubes (about 2 pounds)
  • 1-1/4 cups granulated white sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated or brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of ground ginger
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into very small pieces
  • ½ cup finely chopped pistachios (optional)
Instructions
  1. For the filling:
  2. Toss the rhubarb cubes with sugar and flour; set aside and let macerate while you make the topping, about 20 minutes.
  3. For the topping:
  4. Put flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl; stir together. Add butter and work into flour with fingers or a fork as if making pie dough. The mixture will be loose and crumbly. Stir in the pistachios, if using.
  5. To Bake:
  6. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Transfer sugared rhubarb to a 9-inch baking dish, about 3-inches deep. Sprinkle topping loosely over fruit. Place dish on a baking sheet to catch drippings and bake for about 1 hour, until topping is golden and filling is visibly bubbly at the edges. Cool slightly, then scoop up and enjoy with vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream.
