Rhubarb Pie

I confess I bought this delicious rhubarb pie from Sainsbury's. I could have made one myself if I'd had the ingredients, but there it was in front of me. Rhubarb is popular in Scotland, particularly in conjunction with ginger (rhubard and ginger jam, rhubarb and ginger chutney, etc). 

Served with honey infused Greek style yoghurt. 

 

Split Panini with Butter and Rhubarb and Ginger Chutney

Rhubarb and ginger is a favourite flavour combination for Scots. Most often in the form of jam, which is how I first encountered it as a child. But it works just as well as a savoury chutney.

This is a simple snack, made with a split panini (from Asda), grilled in a toaster, and then buttered. After the butter is spread, add the chutney. That's it! Delicious!

Creamy Porridge with Rhubarb and Ginger

Three sticks of rhubarb, topped and tailed, and split lengthwise, and then chopped into smaller pieces laterally. Cooked in the juice of two small oranges, and two teaspoonfuls of powdered ginger, and two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Simmered until the rhubarb lost its structure. 

Two handfuls of porridge oats cooked in water, a little milk and some single cream until it had a smooth consistency (around ten to fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally). The rhubarb was added to the serving bowl first, then the porridge was spooned in. Delicious and easy to make!
