Rhubarb Tart
(Tarte a la Rhubarbe)
Rhubarb Tart is most popular in the Lorraine region of France, near Germany. As the temperature and soil type seem to aid the growth of rhubarb.
This recipe is typical from Lorraine, but very simple, so I think anybody who grows this vegetable will do a version of this.
Rhubarb can be grown all year round in France. In 'greenhouses'.
As a child living in the north of England. This dish revives fond memories of rhubarb pie with custard.
