Delias Rhubarb And Ginger Brulee Recipes

Steps:

• Chop rhubarb into 2.5 cm chunks.
• Put with demerara sugar, ground ginger, and candied ginger; toss.
• Put in baking dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Stir rhubarb; turn over; bake for 15 minutes more until tender.
• When cooked cool completely.
• Tilt pan so juices come out; press with slotted spoon. Take juices out.
• Turn on broiler.
• Beat cream until thickened.
• Combine yogurt and thick cream; pour over rhubarb. Spoon it evenly over the top, making sure it goes right to edge of dish.
• Spoon sugar over the cream right to the edges.
• Place under broiler; broil until sugar bubbles and turns golden brown; this will take 8 minutes. Watch this time; she is working with an English stove which I am sure is different.
• Take out and cool.

Steps:

• Put the rhubarb in a pan with the sugar and chopped ginger. Cook over a low heat for 10 mins or until the rhubarb has softened and begun to break down. Mix a little of the rhubarb juice with the cornflour in a small bowl, then pour into the pan and stir until thickened. Pour into the base of a round roughly 20cm dish. Leave to cool completely.
• For the custard, pour the double cream, sugar and vanilla pod (as well as the scraped-out seeds) into a pan and bring to a simmer. Scoop out the pod and discard. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and gradually pour over the simmering cream, whisking continuously. Pour the mixture back into the pan. Cook over a low heat, continuously stirring, for around 10 mins until it reaches 86C on a cooking thermometer, or is thickened. Pour over the cooled rhubarb, smooth to an even layer and chill overnight.
• Sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top and caramelise using a blowtorch until deep golden brown. Serve.
