Rhubarb Crisp is also known as an early spring tart. Rhubarb, known as the pie plant, is a tart vegetable used to make tasty desserts + sauces, which happens to be rich in vitamins and minerals. Rhubarb is also a sign of spring, being one of the earlier-harvested vegetables of the season in the Northern Hemisphere. This is good news - happy Spring!

4-6 cups rhubarb stalks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
juice from one orange
1 Tablespoon orange zest, finely grated
1 cup Turbino sugar (sugar in the raw)
3/4 cup flour
Cover rhubarb with half of the sugar (1/2 cup), orange juice, and zests. Marinate for 1 hour. Mix the remaining sugar and flour and combine with the marinated rhubarb. Grease a 9-inch ovenproof casserole or several small individual ramekins; add the marinated rhubarb and sugar-flour mixture to the greased baking dish.

3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon.
3/4 cup rolled oats (not instant oatmeal)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
Mix flour, butter, and ground cinnamon until it makes a smooth pastry dough. Add oatmeal and brown sugar, crumble together, and place on top of the marinated rhubarb in the baking dish.
