Brown Betty Dessert with Grilled Rhubarb topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 5 stems rhubarb, cut into 2.5 cm pieces (about 4 cups)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 tbsp. plus 2 tbsp. l. brown sugar
- 2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- A pinch of ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chopped almonds with skins
- 4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for greasing the pan
- Strawberry ice cream, for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and cloves. In another bowl, toss the rhubarb with 2/3 cup granulated sugar and lemon juice.
- Grease a 20cm (8-inch) deep frying pan or grill pan with butter. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the breadcrumb mixture on the bottom. Top with the rhubarb and sprinkle with the remaining breadcrumbs and almonds. Scatter the butter evenly over the entire surface.
- Place the pan in the center of the grill and cover the pan with a lid or a disposable aluminum baking sheet. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the filling begins to bubble and the top is golden brown. Cool slightly for 10 minutes and serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
