Rhubarb Crème Brûlée Food

CRèME BRûLéE à LA RHUBARBE

Steps:

• First stew your rhubarb. Take the rhubarb and put in in a pan with the grenadine. Heat gently until all the pieces of fruit are soft and and can be cut with a spoon. Chill.
• Make a custard the usual way: Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale. Gently heat the cream, with the vanilla seeds and pod (or paste) included, in a large saucepan until it just boils and climbs sides of the pan. If you used a pod, fish it out and discard. Add half of the cream to the egg yolks and whisk up. Add the egg and cream mixture back to the pan with the rest of the cream. Whisk continuously while increasing the temperature to 80˚C (it helps to use a digital thermometer). Take off the heat, cool to just above room temperature, and crack some prosecco. You just made custard.
• Share the cooled rhubarb between four ramekins, and share the cooled custard in the same way. You may have some materials left over - you can churn the custard to make ice cream, and even add leftover stewed rhubarb and make rhubarb ice cream.
• Chill the creams in the fridge for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight.
• When ready to serve, dust the creams with quite a good coating of icing sugar from a shaker.
• Use a blowtorch to gently caramelise the sugar to create the classic crispy top. You cannot do this bit the day before or the caramel will lose its crisp. Sorry.
• Cool a little and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange the rhubarb in a buttered baking dish and bake uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the strawberries and bake for 15 minutes longer. When done, transfer the fruit to a bowl and stir in the 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside to cool.
• When the fruit is cool, pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to a ribbon stage.

In a stream, whisk into the egg yolk. Strain the custard into a pitcher.
• Fill 8 ramekins halfway with the fruit and then cover with the custard. Place the ramekins in a roasting pan and pour enough hot water to reach halfway up the outside of each ramekin. Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until custard is set. When finished, remove ramekins from the pan and cool on wire racks. Cool in the refrigerator until chilled, about 4 hours.
• Just before service, cover each custard with the raw sugar and, using a torch, caramelize each dessert. If you don't have a torch, you can place them under the broiler. Serve and enjoy.

Place the cream and vanilla seeds in a medium-sized heavy-based saucepan set over a medium heat and warm until the cream begins to bubble around the edges. Slowly pour the warmed cream into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking until smooth. Pour back into the saucepan, and stir gently over a low heat for 20 minutes, or until the custard is very thick, coats the back of a spoon and holds a trail. Pour into a jug and divide between the 4 ramekins. Refrigerate for 6-12 hours.
• Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar evenly over the surface of the custards. For the best results use a cook's blowtorch, or place under a preheated grill, to brown the sugar evenly until nicely glazed. Allow the sugar to cool and harden for a few minutes, then serve.
