Simple Rhubarb Crisp

Rhubarb Crisp | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Rhubarb season is upon us. What’s better than a simple Rhubarb Crisp with Strawberry ice cream? Wow, I’m up to recipe No. 642 from the Collection Membership.

RHUBARB SEASON

I’m starting to see fresh Rhubarb in the markets, I saw Melissa’s Produce, so it is time to grab some and bake a simple crisp. Actually my neighbors grow it, I will have to look into this. It is a very tart vegetable, so many times you see it paired with strawberries for sweetness.

GRANDMA’S RUBARB

I have written about my Nebraska Grandmother, who came to LA later in her life. She really knew her way around rhubarb, she grew it in her suburban garden, along with potatoes and of course chickens. She was a farmer so this was normal for her. She always made a Strawberry Rhubarb pie, but I opted for something simpler like this crisp.

STRAWBERRY + RHUBARB

Simple Rhubarb Crisp | Bijouxs Little Jewels

You see these paired together in recipes. The strawberries cut the tartness of the rhubarb. I went straight rhubarb for the crisp and served it with a scoop of strawberry ice cream. Another Little Jewel recipe from the Membership Collection.
Thank you for your support!

Super-Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Super-Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts | Bijouxs Little Jewels

These are the tastiest Brussels sprouts ever-roasted in a deeply brown in an intense sauce-Recipe No.641 Super-Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts from the Membership Collection.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Brussels Spouts recipes can run the gamut of flavors, I have quite a few recipes here on the Membership Collection, just search “brussels spouts” to see all my recipes. These little cabbages are adorable and sweetest when they are small.

ROASTING VEGETABLES

Roasting vegetables intensifies their flavors, and in this case the sauce creates a crispy brown profile I have not tasted in any other Brussels spouts recipe. These babies are crispy and flavor packed. I have printed  my take of the original recipe, however, next time I will start with half of the salt, then add additional to taste.

TOPPINGS

I like the salty kick of finely grated Parmesan cheese and creamy crunch from the Pine Nuts. So good you will want to sample it right out of the baking dish, like I did. I would serve these alongside simple roasted chicken or plain roasted meats.

FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

The simple ingredients bring all the veggies and fruits you need to ensure your health. Fresh spinach, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes and beel pepper are a perfect combo for a make-head salad. I made a large one here and was able to enjoy it for a few days.

NO OIL SALAD DRESSING 

The salad uses a citrus no-oil salad dressing which keeps the vegetables crisp during the day, and even overnight. Use your favorite veggies for your salad. I added some Total Immune Blend from Vimergy to pump up the goodness.

Fell free to Pin this salad to your Pinterest.

Cheers!

Chilled Pea Velouté with Goat Cheese & Edible Flowers

Chilled Pea Velouté with Goat Cheese & Edible Flowers | Bijouxs Little Jewels

The verdant green of Spring is all here in this Little Jewel from the Kitchen-Chilled Pea Velouté with Goat Cheese & Edible Flowers No. 639 in the Membership Collection.

ENGLISH GREEN PEAS

I can’t think of any vegetable that announces Spring like fresh green peas. This is a simple soup, just place frozen peas in the blender with boiling water and voilà, the chilled soup is ready.

ENGLISH GREEN PEAS I can't think of any vegetable that announces Spring like fresh green peas. This is a simple soup, just place frozen peas in the blender with boiling water and voilà, the chilled soup is ready. VELOUTE´ These French soups are typically created with stock and a roux, but this Little Jewel comes together smooth and creamy with just a flick of the blender. The frozen peas are whizzed with boiling water in the blender, then set aside to fully chill in the refrigerator. Perfect. GOAT CHEESE & EDIBLE FLOWERS The crowning jewels to this soup are slices of herbed Goat cheese and a sprinkling of edible flowers. The goat cheese logs are fairly common, if not just roll a plain log in some of your favorite dried herbs. I usually try to grow edible flowers in pots, but the gloomy beach weather has postponed Spring planting. I found these edible flowers at, where else, Trader Joes.

Savor this simple soup.

This salad was on the menu at Osteria Mozza a while back when the cookbook was published, 2019. Nancy Silverton is a favorite chef of mine, and dating my self, I even took at bread baking class with her when La Brea Bakery was hot. So glad I did it, as well as dining at Osteria Mozza. I love this salad and I think this salad was a popular salad, so give it a try.
