I have a rather large red
rhubarb plant growing in my yard.
I usually gravitate toward
sweet treats when I cook with rhubarb, but this time I decided to go savory.
I came across the recipe for
rhubarb BBQ and I could not get it out my head!
I knew that it would either be delicious or horrifying. Since my plant was looking waaaay overgrown
(and I was having a huge group of people over), I went ahead and tried it!
And ermergerd. It is delicious! The rhubarb lends a slight tartness to the
BBQ without being overwhelming. In fact,
if you didn’t know there was rhubarb in the sauce, you’d never detect it. The tartness blends right in with the sweetness
from the molasses and sugar and the spiciness from the chipotle peppers.
I’ve been using this sauce on
everything! Lil’ Smokies, BBQ chicken,
fries, burgers, everything! Good thing
my rhubarb plant is still huge, because I’m going to be making it all summer
long!
