Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
This dessert highlights the tartness of the rhubarb, which is mellowed out
by the sweet strawberries. Be sure to get ripe, in-season ingredients for
the best results.
Makes 8 servings
Filling:
1
pound rhubarb, trimmed and cut into ½-inch thick slices
2
⁄
cup granulated sugar
3
Pinch kosher salt
¼
teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼
teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3
cups (about ¾ pound) strawberries, hulled and quartered
(halved if strawberries are small)
4½
teaspoons tapioca starch
Topping:
1
cup rolled oats (not quick cooking)

3
⁄
2
cup packed light brown sugar
3
¼
teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼
teaspoon ground ginger
¼
teaspoon kosher salt
6
tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1. Put the rhubarb, sugar, salt, vanilla and lemon juice in a large mixing
bowl; toss to fully combine. Add the strawberries and tapioca starch,
and stir to coat well. Transfer to a 9-inch square baking pan; reserve.
2. Prepare the topping: Put all the topping ingredients except the butter
into a mixing bowl and combine. Add the butter and either with a
pastry blender or with your fingers, work the butter into the dry
ingredients. Once the butter is evenly distributed, sprinkle over the top
of the filling.
3. Adjust the rack to position 2. Set the oven to Bake at 350°F for 30
minutes. Once the oven is preheated, bake the crisp for the allotted
time, or until the filling is bubbling and the top is browned.
4. Remove and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. This is
delicious when paired with freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
