Oh Rhubarb!  You wonderful pink fruit… no wait, vegetable that you are!  You’re not just for pie and you don’t always need your side kick, strawberry by your side.  In fact, I enjoyed your itsy bitsy self all alone in this easy to make, quick bread.  Granted I did add ginger and walnuts to simmer down your rather sour crunch and it was very much enjoyed!

I remember for what felt like the looongest time ever, I looked high and low through the streets of New York leaving no market passed by untouched, to find this tart and tangy vegetable.  Oftentimes, as I approached the rhubarb stalks next to the other leafy vegetables, I was let down to find it was not rhubarb, but swiss chard.  Darn look-a-like!

I was determined to find this vegetable but sad to say, I was defeated.  Never found them in the area of Astoria or even downtown Manhattan where I once lived.  It wasn’t until I came to Arizona, not even looking for them, when I came across its vibrant pink color at a Fry’s supermarket just laying there in front of me.  You better believe I bought a bundle!

And here we are today, with a simple and beautiful, nutty, sweet bread with bits of bright half-moons of rhubarb.  Pucker up ladies and gents!  Enjoy its tart and tangy glory in something other than pie.

Food for Thought:  Keep in mind, rhubarb’s prime season is March to June.  If this is the first time cooking/baking rhubarb, avoid consuming the large, triangular leaves which contain oxalic acid- they’re poisonous.  But don’t let this deter you from experiencing its wonderful flavor; the stalk is just fine!
