Try it instead of apple sauce with pork if you eat it. Nice and tangy if you stew it without sugar. It goes well with mackerel too 

Or rhubarb vodka - I’m sure you’ll find recipes if you Google. I found one for rhubarb Bellini and tried to erase the thought 🤪 🥤  

Ooh never though of having it with meat, I’ll skip the alcohol though. Not that I drink vast amounts but not touched a drop in just over two weeks - having a bit of a detox 😀 Been off tea and coffee for six weeks 😮 

My easy one is to stew it with ginger and the juice & zest of an orange. No need to add water. Then mix in Chia seeds to make a tangy chia pudding to serve with yoghurt. If you need it sweeter, use sparing amounts of sugar substitute unless you're not avoiding carbs at all. I think it would go well with Duck as well as mackerel and pork. Lots of things to try before it's out of season again. 

Stew it a little in a pan and then add a spoon full to a ramekin and top up with a solution of sugar free jelly. Hey presto..... Lots of little homemade rhubarb jellies 👍💪😊 

Ooh never tried it with jelly - will give it a go  

I cook mine with a handful of sultana's and little grated ginger 

Never tried that either Rhubarb and ginger sounds yum combination 

Ginger goes so well with rhubarb 👍🏻 

I think you can bake it... I'm not sure exactly how, but my mum used to bake it and we'd have it with ricotta and prosciutto. 

could have it with some yogurt! 

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions- we have a forest of rhubarb to get through!
