Ingredients

• 500g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into small pieces
• 3 tbsp sweetener
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• Finely grated zest of ½ orange
• 50g plain flour
• 40g extra-light spread
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tbsp sweetener

To serve:

• Fat free natural fromage frais, sweetened to taste, to serve

Method

1. Heat your oven to 200C (180C fan, Gas 6).
2. Put the rhubarb, sweetener, ginger, orange zest and 5 tablespoons of water in a saucepan over a very low heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the flavours have combined. When the rhubarb is soft but still holding its shape, transfer it to a medium-sized baking dish.
3. To make the crumble, put the flour and spread in a bowl and rub together with your fingers until you have a soft, crumbly mixture. Mix in the ginger and sweetener with your fingers then scatter the topping over the rhubarb. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and serve hot with a dollop of fat free fromage frais.

Top tips for making this Slimming World rhubarb and ginger crumble

Go for ‘forced’ rhubarb if you can get it – this more delicate, watermelon-pink variety is grown under pots and is in season in the early months of the year.

For this recipe you need a medium saucepan with a matching lid. We love this classic design from Le Creuset. 

Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel Lidded Saucepan 16cm - View at John Lewis

Stainless steel has a timeless design and will look great in any kitchen. This pan has a comfortable, sturdy handle but do take caution removing the lid during cooking as it can get a little hot.
