How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Salad 🍓

Rhubarb has been an important ingredient in Denmark since the 1800's. Summer memories including gardens with rhubab growing in Danish garden's such as my Mormor's garden. As well, rhubarb recipes such as rabarbergrød.

Here is modern rhubarb recipe that I had in Bakken a couple summers ago.  One of the restaurants had a salad buffet with a rhubarb salad.  So simple and delicious.  I had never tried a rhubarb salad before.  This had a nice sweet citrus flavor. The rhubarb becomes softened slightly while soaking in the citrus juices. I have had this recipe on my mind since being a Bakken. Here I added sliced strawberries and mint to this salad recipe which compliments rhubarb very well too.

Icelandic Flag Cake Recipe to celebrate Icelandic National Day

Icelandic National Day is coming up in a few days. This annual holiday (Icelandic: Þjóðhátíðardagurinn) was chosen to coincide with the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson. Jón is a major figure of Icelandic culture from the 19th century.

Perfect time to start thinking of ways to celebrate and here we came up with an Icelandic Flag Cake which is a fast fun way to serve during the holiday. 🎈  I decided to make a simple cake in comparison to some of the larger flag cakes I have done before.  This cake only requires one baking pan.  If you want to have a filling in the center, you can easily slice it in half.

As well, I have lots of raspberries growing on my raspberry bush.  So luckily I could use the raspberries for the cake.  So I decided to use the red raspberries for the red cross that is on the cake. 

 

As well I purchased fresh blueberries and whipped cream to complete the flag.  I decided to use the whipped cream from a can because I was not make a complicated pattern.  However, I suggest to add the whipped cream at the very last step. The whipped cream fluffiness will start disappearing shortly after shaking it out of the can.  So I suggest to serve the cake right away. 🍴

How to Make Swedish Rhubarb Crumble ☀ Rabarberpaj

This time of the year, I think about what to make for midsummer celebrations.  Midsummer celebrations is an important Nordic tradition and a lot of people look forward to attending.  We have a tradition in my family to have dinner at our house, go to the beach, build a bonfire, bake bread on a stick and sing Danish songs.

So, I decided to make a Swedish Rhubarb Crumble for dessert because you can make it for a lot of people.  As well I saw so much rhubarb in the grocery stores lately that I thought it was an easy decision to make this delicious dessert.  The great thing is people can decide how much they want to scoop out from the pan.

What makes this dessert Swedish from what I understand is the flour and oatmeal combination.  Just make sure to buy the correct rolled oats and not the quick or 5 minutes oatmeal.  Otherwise the dessert won't taste correct.

How to Make Swedish Rhubarb Crumble  ☀ Rabarberpaj
🌸 Ingredients 🌸
Rhubarb filling:

• 6 cups of rhubarb, chopped into 3/4-inch chunks
• 1 cup of granulated sugar 
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch 
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon (for extra cinnamon flavor)

Rhubarb Filling instructions:

1. Put the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a large bowl and toss together.
2. Transfer the rhubarb into a prepared buttered 8-inch ovenproof dish. 
3. Spread and pack the fruit down well. Then set the pan aside.

For crumble topping:

• 1 1/3 cup light brown sugar 
• 1 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour
• 20 tablespoons softened unsalted butter 
• 2 cups oats 
• 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Add sliced butter,  flour and light brown sugar together in a large bowl. Rub everything together with your fingertips, making sure that there are a few pea-sized lumps of butter left. 
3. Mix oats, cinnamon almond slices into a medium bowl.
4. Stir in the oats mixture into the large bowl and mix well. 
5. Rub in the butter using your finger tips until it forms crumbs and starts to stick together.
6. Crumble the mixture loosely over the rhubarb filling so you can still see the rhubarb mixture underneath. (You might not need it all.)
7. Bake for 30 minutes, until the fruit is soft and the crumble is golden brown on top.
8. Set aside to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
9. Best to serve warm or hot and eaten the same day. 🥄 Delicious with a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of milk. ☕

I like to decorate the tables with the flowers to create a midsummer feel.  As well, always like to use my summer dishes and floral placemats and runners too.  Especially since we only have several months to enjoy these during the year!

The Swedish Rhubarb crumble goes well with vanilla ice cream or whipped.Traditionally rabarberpaj is served with vaniljsås (vanilla sauce). I plan to make the sauce another day for you all.   😀   🎈
