Rhubarb

[Ems1987]

Hi all,

I am new to the site but am currently midway through cruise and have decided to introduce some rhubarb into my meals for a bit of variety. I have bought the frozen pack from Asda but just wondering how everyone cooks it as it is quite big so will last me a while! Do people generally cook it all then split and re-freeze in separate portions?

You'll be surprised Em at how it shrinks in cooking. I asked my OH to buy two 1K packs, and we both thought I'd gone OTT when I saw the size of the packages. BUT, in reality, 250g (1/4 of a pack) barely fills a ramekin when cooked.

I simply follow the instructions on the packet - frozen into a dish (one layer) - and bake 20-30 mins. I usually leave it in when I turn the oven off... and spoon some sweetener on.

Others might be more inventive.

I just take out a portion at a time and bung it in the microwave for a few minutes with a splash of water

straight from frozen, I put it on for 2 minutes then check it, if it's not soft enough for me I put it on for another minute, sometimes it needs some of the liquid straining off. I add sweetner when its done
