Let's be real; rhubarb doesn't get nearly enough love. People tend to shy away from it because they don't really know what it is or what to do with it — but, you guys, the stuff is amazing.
Rhubarb is straight-up delicious when properly prepared. If you’ve ever whipped up a recipe using it, you know that it’s highly underrated and underused for how delicious it is. Those huge bright red and green celery-like stalks can look a little intimidating when they’re on their own, but don’t let their quirkiness fool you — rhubarb is the ideal ingredient to take your summer recipe game to the next level and is sure to get a conversation started at your next dinner party or family picnic.
Watch as I show you how to create five really simple, unexpected recipes with this unconventional item, such as pretty strawberry-rhubarb mimosas, a spicy-sweet rhubarb barbecue sauce, party-ready peach-rhubarb hand pies and good-to-the-last-crumb rhubarb bars.
