English Rhubarb Pie

6 servings

Ingredients

• shortcrust pastry (as needed)
• 750 g rhubarb, peeled, cut into finger-long pieces
• sugar, crushed (as needed)
• 1 pcs lemon, zested
• 1.5 glass good white wine

Instructions

1. Prepare like the apple pie, but using rhubarb instead of apples.
2. It is advisable to blanch the peeled rhubarb, cut into finger-long pieces, briefly in boiling water beforehand to prevent it from tasting too tart.
3. Then, as with the apple pie, fill the dish lined with shortcrust pastry with sugar, grated lemon, and white wine, cover with a pastry lid, and bake in a moderately warm oven for 1 hour.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
