Hi,

Just join a CSA for the first time and received around 5lbs of wonderful rhubarb with more to come.  Just made Rhubarb and honey soda with lacto-fermentation.  Anyone else have a to-die-for recipe I need to try?  I can can but, prefer to lacto-ferment.  We are staying away from a ton of sweets/white flour, so bread, cake and pie are out.  Savory ideas are in as well!  Thanks for your suggestions!  Beth

Most of my recipes for rhubarb are for sweet things so I'm afraid I'm not much use to you.  But I thought I'd mention my favorites here in case anyone else has a rhubarb mother-load.

Rhubarb cornmeal cake by Nigella Lawson - wonderful, not overly sweet cake.  The muscat mascarpone sauce that accompanies it makes it really special.

Rhubarb and ginger bars from Guardian Cook supplement - these were gorgeous, a pink rhubarb curd on a crust base.  That edition of Guardian Cook has a lot of great looking rhubarb recipes, many of them savory.

And of course the classic rhubarb crumble is always popular.

Don't forget about the huge repertoire of online recipes we have on EYB - there are 1,179 recipes using rhubarb of which 388 recipes are not desserts or baking. I want to try the Beetroot and rhubarb salad by Yotam Ottolenghi.

I make this rhubarb sauce every year during rhubarb season and it's delicious.  Goes very well with grilled pork or chicken.  

Thanks for all the suggestions!  I plan to have fun looking through the indexes with all your suggestions and the sauce recipe is really great.  Part of the fun of this group is the sharing on the forums as well.  Hugs Beth

I just came across a recipe for Dal & Rhubarb here: www.motherearthnews.com/...-vegetable-zbcz1505.aspx
