Yvette’s rhubarb and ricotta tartlets…
Posted in kitchen May 1st, 2009 by piablog

HI dearest (blog)house readers,

As I am a great fan of rhubarb and it’s in the shops right now, I’m giving you a simple recipe for little tartlets with rhubarb and ricotta.

I have another nice recipe for rhubarb coming up, but still have to translate it in English, so I will post that one in a few days.

There are so many things that you can do with this vegetable, I can’t even start to sum them up. I am so lucky to work in a beautiful vegetable garden and of course we are growing our own rhubarb in it! I’ll take a picture of it and post it with the next recipe. Here is a picture of the garden, I took it a few weeks ago. Isn’t it lovely?

So,inspired as I am to grow the things I like to cook, I will let you know if something new will sprout out of the soil and into my head: be prepared! Pia, we have a lot of work to do here!!

I wrote the recipe all over the next picture – we worked on this recipe a while ago for a Dutch magazine called Margriet Magazine. Eric van Lokven was responsible for taking the photograph.

I hope you enjoy making this recipe!

Yvette
