  1. And fell in love🫠🫠
    When I spotted rhubarb at the farmer’s market in the Netherlands, I felt like trying something similar to the strawberry–rhubarb recipes I’d seen online. So I grabbed some and brought it home. My strawberries were naturally sweet, the taste of Dutch strawberries in season is just incredible! But then I thought: “I don’t want to waste these beauties with a vegetable I’ve never cooked before,” so I made the mistake of taking a raw bite of the rhubarb. Big mistake ,it tasted and smelled terrible, metallic and sour.
    Still, I figured all those people online couldn’t be wrong, so I gave it a try in a crumble, keeping the rhubarb-to-strawberry ratio low in my recipe. And the result? Perfect! When rhubarb cooks with plenty of sugar and strawberries, it transforms into this sweet-yet-tangy flavor that’s absolutely delicious. I loved it. If you ever come across rhubarb, I definitely recommend giving it a try 🥰

    Details of the ingredients below 🍓
    
I washed and chopped the strawberries and rhubarb, mixed them with sugar and starch, and placed them in a baking dish. For the crumble topping, I rubbed together flour, cold butter cubes, brown and white sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until sandy, then sprinkled it over the fruit mix. I baked it in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 35–40 minutes, checking until golden on top. Served it with homemade whipped cream (35% fat cream + a few spoonfuls of sugar) – heavenly!
