Rhubarb and Blood Orange Crumble Recipe
Ingredients:
25g unsalted butter
500g rhubarb, washed
3 blood oranges
1 knob ginger, grated
50g caster sugar
1 vanilla bean, scraped
250g thick pouring cream, to serve
Crumble Top
125g unsalted butter
180g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
90g caster sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method:
Preheat oven to 190°C. To make crumble top, dice butter while it is still cold into 1cm cubes. Combine diced butter with sifted flour and baking powder, caster sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Using your fingers, mix ingredients together until they form a soft crumbling texture. Set aside.
Line a deep ceramic baking dish with half the butter. Cut rhubarb into pinky finger lengths and width. Zest and segment oranges, and grate ginger. Toss sugar, blood orange pieces and rhubarb together with scraped vanilla bean.
Place rhubarb mixture in the baking dish with the rest of the butter on top.
Scatter crumble top over fruit and bake for 1 hour or until top is golden and juices are bubbling. Serve with thick pouring cream on the side.
