Rhubarb Pistachio Crisp

By Lucy Waverman

The pistachios add an interesting taste and texture to this crumble topping, which works with all types of fruit. Serves 6.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 lb (750 g) rhubarb, cut in 1-inch lengths
  • 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp chopped crystallized ginger
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 cup rolled oats
  • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1⁄2 cup shelled pistachios, halved
  • Pinch salt
  • 3⁄4 cup butter, cubed

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Combine rhubarb, granulated sugar, flour and crystallized ginger in a 10- by 8-inch baking ish. Dot with butter.

3. Prepare topping by combining flour, oats, brown sugar, ground ginger, pistachios and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over rhubarb.

4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until juices are bubbling and crumble is golden.

    Would you please tell me how much rhubarb equals 1 1/2 lbs, i.e., how many cups? I don't have a kitchen scale. Thank you.
