Scalloped Rhubarb image

Cookbook author Sarah Lee Chase calls this a serendipitous scramble of corn bread, rhubarb & walnuts or an absolute must with roast spring chicken. In any case, it was a hit at our annual Easter gala!

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups fresh rhubarb, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
3/4 cup sugar (I used half brown, half white)
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups cornbread stuffing mix (Pepperidge Farm)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup cassis liqueur

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 10" or 12" gratin dish or shallow casserole.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss together the rhubarb and sugar. (I used 2 packs of Dole frozen rhubarb, thawed and patted dry).
  • Melt 2 T. butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until quite soft, 10-15 minutes. Remove the onion from the skillet and combine with the rhubarb. Melt the remaining 6 T. of butter in the skillet and add it to the rhubarb mixture along with the corn bread crumbs and walnuts. Stir well to combine.
  • Spread the nixture in the prepared dish. Drizzle the cassis evenly over the top. (If you don't have cassis, use any berry flavored liqueur or maybe even apple juice?).
  • Bake until the rhubarb juices are bubbling and crumbs are lightly browned, 40-45 minutes. Serve at once.
