Strawberry crisp with rhubarb topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
Filling:
- 1 liter of hulled and quartered strawberries
- 4 rhubarb stalks, cut into 1.5 cm lengths
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Top layer:
- 1 and 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 140g butter, cut into pea-sized pieces
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1-2 tablespoons of water
- Whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Filling:
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Spoon the filling into 8 ramekins (portioned ceramic soufflé cups) or 1 wide, shallow baking dish.
- Top layer:
In a food processor, pulse the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt and continue to pulse until the mixture resembles dry crumbs. Add 1 tablespoon of water and pulse until the crumbs begin to stick together slightly, making the mixture lumpy. If the mixture still looks dry, add another 1 tablespoon of water and pulse.
- Sprinkle the filling with the prepared crumble topping. Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the topping is crisp and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Serve the crisps warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
