Rhubarb Tart
(Tarte a la Rhubarbe)
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.
