Recipe - Rhubarb Ginger Cobbler
Hi all!
Cut the rhubarb into 5cm (2inc) pieces and wash it.
Peel the ginger and chop it finely (this is an extreme closeup, it was really chopped)
Put the rhubarb and 3tbsp of the sugar in a medium pan with 4tbsp of water and add the ginger.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the rhubarb is almost tender.
Measure out your cornflour (1tsbp remember?)
And add tbsp cold water, stir. Add the mixture to the rhubarb.
Cook for a minute until the liquid has thickened, then pour both the fruit and and the liquid into a 1 liter (1.75 pint) baking dish.
Mix the remaining sugar with the flour, a pinch of salt, and the baking powder, then rub into the butter until the mixture start to look like breadcrumbs.
Grate the remaining ginger and add to the flour. Stir in the milk to make a soft dough.
Stirring...
Spoon in dollops over the surface of the fruit.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the dough has become golden brown on top. Serve piping hot.

This was actually pretty good :) A bit too gingery for my liking so maybe next time I will add a little less, and also a lot more green that the picture but that migth have to do with my choice of rhubarb, This was the picture from the mag:
This sounds great...I love ginger AND rhubarb, so I will have to try this out. When I make rhubarb crisp I add a little orange zest...it's really really good! Have a great week!
