Rhubarb?

Hello all,

Does anyone know if we are allowed Rubarb on induction?

and what do you have with it?

Re: Rhubarb?

Yes - it is on the one cup list! As when cooked it is appreciably smaller you would need to measure it before cooking.

I stew it in a little sweetened water till soft and make a dessert with whipped cream or put it in a dish with sweetener and top it with some of my flax muffin recipe 'batter' and bake or microwave to make a sort of pie.

It is also nice raw sliced into thin slices, sprinkled with granular sweetener and topped with cream. Tart but refreshing.

What Elizellen said.

And by the way, this is the list of foods acceptable during Induction: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html

Re: Rhubarb?

I stew it similar to Elizellen and I use it as a condiment for roast turkey, chicken or pork-----it's like a cranberry substitute.

And surprizingly, it gives Asian-style brothy soups (like hot and sour soup) a nice tartness and the rhubarb essentially disintegrates in the broth.

Gosh - I never thought of adding it to soups, Megs!

It's also good with fish. Slice it thinly, then stuff it into the cavity of a whole trout . Then wrap bacon around the trout (so the trout looks like an Egyptian mummy---a bacony, yummy mummy ) Then roast the trout in the oven. The bacon gets nice and crispy on top, the trout stays moist and gets a light smoky flavor and the rhubarb gives it a tartness that replaces lemon.
