Rhubarb Puff Pastry Squares & Giveaway




*Scroll to the bottom to see who won the giveaway!*

This year we planted hundreds of rhubarb plants. Many to use to make pies, and delicious tarts...
The downside? You have to wait a few years before you can harvest them (or else you might end up pulling the tiny stalks out of the ground). Boo. Right now they are little leaves with a tiny stem. Definitely not enough to make a pie with!

Even though I have to wait a couple of years isn't going to stop me from eating rhubarb! To satiate my desire for it I decided to make some Rhubarb Puff Pastry Squares. Get your sleeves rolled up and put on an apron because it's baking time!

 Rhubarb Puff Pastry Squares

 Makes 4

 1 tsp                         caster sugar
1 tbsp                       butter, melted
1 pkg                        prepared puff pastry
3 rhubarb, stalks
4 springs of mint

Defrost half of the prepared puff pastry by letting it sit at room temperature for 2 hours. Once defrosted roll out pastry to 1/4" thick. Cut into 4 squares that are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". Lay out on baking sheet. Put in fridge. Take your rhubarb and cut 16 pieces that are to be 2 1/2" long. Take your puff pastry out from the fridge and with a fork poke holes underneath where the rhubarb is going to be so it won't puff up. Place the rhubarb on top. Brush with butter and sprinkle each square with 1/4 tsp sugar. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Top with fresh mint and serve with ice cream. Enjoy!

    Ok, I had no idea that rhubarb took so long to harvest! Crazy :) I love it though - so tart!

      Yes, they are a bit small right now to harvest but maybe in a year or two.

      It's quite good! A little sour, I would suggest adding a tad more sugar underneath the rhubarb. :)

    Your tart/square bake is lovely. I've never tried baking rhubarb in stalks like that before.

    Our rhubarb is finally established, and now we have so much of it, that we can share with our friends. I am eager to try your recipe for today's dessert. It's 'summertime' simple and elegant looking. Thanks Shelan for sharing your recipe.
