The crumble is the British version of the American crisp. This one features the classic combination of tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries, topped with a crunchy oat-and-hazelnut streusel. A scoop of ice cream is the perfect finishing touch. Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar |
1 large pinch salt |
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1/2 cup old fashioned oats |
1/2 cup husked hazelnuts, toasted, coarsely chopped |
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise |
1 lb strawberry, hulled, halved (about 4 cups) |
12 ounces rhubarb, ends trimmed, stalks cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (preferably bright red) |
vanilla ice cream |
