The rhubarb tart is appealing due to its bright acidity and neat arrangement of stalks in circles. A base of breadcrumbs absorbs excess juice, while the compote fills in any gaps. This is a simple recipe, ready in about 50 minutes.

Directions

  1. Prepare the dough yourself, or buy pre-made dough. ≈ 3 min
  2. Grease a tart tin or line it with parchment paper. ≈ 3 min
  3. Spread the dough evenly over it. ≈ 10 min
  4. Trim the edges that extend beyond. ≈ 8 min
  5. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the pastry so that it doesn’t puff up during baking. ≈ 3 min
  6. Keep the rhubarb stalks and remove the leaves. ≈ 3 min
  7. Wash the stems and cut them lengthwise if they are too thick. ≈ 2 min
  8. Cut them into pieces about 2 cm in size. ≈ 8 min
  9. During the peeling process, do not cut the stem completely; instead, stop a little before the end and pull to remove a strip of skin, which will allow for quick and effective peeling. ≈ 8 min
  10. Boil some water.
  11. Briefly blanch the rhubarb pieces (for 5 to 10 seconds) to soften them. ≈ 3 min
  12. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on the bottom of the dish: this layer will absorb any excess moisture from the rhubarb. ≈ 2 min
  13. Arrange the rhubarb pieces in concentric circles. ≈ 3 min
  14. Fill in the gaps with the compote.
  15. Sprinkle with sugar. ≈ 2 min
  16. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (392 °F) for 10 minutes.
  17. Place the pie in the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
