This week's French Fridays with Dorie sees me very much in my comfort zone with roasted rhubarb, a dessert that I have made numerous times before.
Dorie's version of roasted rhubarb adds orange zest to the sugar with the rhubarb for some added zing. I adored the slightly tarty, slightly sweet finished product, which I served on top of porridge, with a dollop of quark on top, and on its own.
Look at that gorgeous magenta colour - what's not to love? It is winter here, so I was lucky to come across some rhubarb at the supermarket, as rhubarb is a summer crop.
If you have never tried rhubarb before and love a slightly tart dessert, then you should try this one - it's delicious.

Looks delicious--and much simpler than a pie or pudding!
Cakelaw what nice look this roasted rhubarb! look nice, gloria
There is nothing quite like rhubarb! It's still weird to me to see rhubarb at the grocer. I never think of it as a cultivated item.
Love roasted rhubarb! Also tastes great with mascarpone cheese on top.
I love doing rhubarb like this! I give it to Mr NQN on top of natural yogurt and he seems to love it :)
wow- you are lucky to find it in the winter - I have never seen it available here in the wintertime! Yours looks lovely.
I do love the color of your rhubarb! Thanks to you and all participants who are in the southern hemisphere. I can't imagine if I had to make many of these dishes out of season. I already had to go to a farmers market to find the rhubarb as it wasn't in my normal grocery store.
What a great accompaniment to your winter porridge. It is such a beautiful color! Have a great weekend!
Love the glorious red color of your rhubarb. I am not sure what went down with mine but I am excited to revisit it - esp with all the great ideas I got from this week's posts. Nana promised to roast up another batch so we can figure out what happened, but wouldn't you know we can't find more :) She checked 5 stores today and couldn't get a single stalk. Oh well, tomorrow's another day. Great post ~
What's not to love is right!
I'm so happy for you to find fresh rhubarb in your market this time of year;-)
Your roasted rhubarb looks perfect;-)
I love the ruby red of your rhubarb! Funny that you say rhubarb is a summer crop as I always think it is a winter crop here - never have trouble finding it in winter and wouldn't even think to cook it in summer but maybe that is just how I was brought up
Lovely! You were lucky to be able to find rhubarb in the winter!
Roasted fruit is such a wonderful treat. I really like your addition of orange zest, it must really make the rhubarb pop!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
*kisses* HH
I love rhubarb on porridge, but it's hot here, so I made tarts instead. Yours is a gorgeous colour!
The color of your roasted rhubarb is so vibrant! Sounds like quite a few Doristas had a hard time finding rhubarb even where it's in season where they live. I'm glad you found some when it's on the opposite side of our seasonal food calendar. Yummy!
Yum! Rhubarb is one of my favorite foods ever!
Gorgeous rhubarb! I'm shocked that you were able to find rhubarb in the Southern hemisphere when not a speck was to be found up north in the grocery stores...lucky you!!!
Totally with you on this one - roasted rhubarb is a joy. I love that the rhubarb retains its shape and colour.
