Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble

 Rhubarb has a short growing season that only lasts for a few months every spring. To celebrate the small window when this tangy, vibrant vegetable is available, we are cooking up a classic strawberry rhubarb crumble. The strawberries and rhubarb first get tossed together with sugar to soften and get juicy. For the topping, we call on oats for texture, brown sugar for rich caramel flavor, cinnamon for a little heat, and flour and butter to bind it all together. For such a delicious dessert you’ll wish rhubarb was available all year round.

2) In a medium bowl, stir together light brown sugar, flour, oats, 1/2 tsp salt, and cinnamon. Scatter butter over the flour mixture and work the butter into the dry mixture with your hands until crumbly, then pinch and squeeze the topping together to create large clumps.

3) Drain liquid from the rhubarb and strawberries with a fine mesh sieve, and discard or save liquid for another use (the sweet syrup tastes great in seltzer!).

Coffee Pairing

Try pairing this treat with Ethiopian Sidamo or Kenyan single origin coffee. African coffees generally pair well with fruit-based foods, additionally, the bright acidity of these coffees work well with the tangy flavor notes of the rhubarb.
