Gluten-Free Rhubarb Crumble

Hi, it’s Scott here with this week’s recipe – and we’re keeping things simple, seasonal and absolutely delicious with a gluten-free rhubarb crumble.

Now, I cook a fair bit of gluten-free food as I’ve got a family member who can’t eat gluten. Through doing so, I’ve found that some recipes don’t just cope without gluten – they’re actually better for it. And crumble, in my opinion, is one of those dishes. The oats, almonds and demerara sugar give the topping a lovely texture and depth of flavour – perfect for pairing with sharp, tangy rhubarb.

So let’s head to the kitchen and see how it’s made.

As always, you can find this recipe and others over at theveggrowerpodcast.co.uk and on my Instagram page: @seedtotableplot13.

Ingredients (Serves 4–6):

For the crumble topping:

  • 125g cold salted butter
  • 100g gluten-free plain flour
  • 100g gluten-free porridge oats
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 125g demerara sugar

For the rhubarb filling:

  • 500g rhubarb, cut into 3–4cm chunks
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 120g caster sugar

Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan).
  2. Prepare the rhubarb:
    In a bowl, toss the rhubarb with the orange zest, juice and caster sugar. Tip it all into an ovenproof dish and spread out evenly.
  3. Make the crumble topping:
    In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, ground almonds, demerara sugar and cold butter. Rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  4. Assemble the crumble:
    Spoon the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb, making sure it’s well covered. Gently press it down with the back of a spoon to compact slightly.
  5. Bake:
    Place in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and crisp and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

And there you have it – a comforting classic with a gluten-free twist that’s perfect for this time of year. Serve warm with a dollop of yoghurt, cream, or even custard if you fancy.

That’s the recipe done, and that’s it from me this week – see you next time!

Scott’s Moroccan Meatball And Aubergine Bake

Good evening, it's Scott here with this week's recipe! Lately, I've been harvesting a bumper crop of aubergines, including a variety called 'White Knight' that’s been particularly prolific. With such a bountiful harvest, I’ve been trying out all sorts of dishes, but my favourite by far this year is the one I’m sharing with you today: a Moroccan Meatball and Aubergine Bake. This dish features succulent lamb meatballs and tender aubergine baked in a rustic tomato sauce, all topped with crumbled feta and vibrant pomegranate seeds. It’s a fantastic way to use up any homegrown tomatoes you might have. If you follow a plant-based diet, you can easily swap the lamb meatballs for plant-based alternatives or even use smoked tofu, which works beautifully in this recipe. So, let’s not delay—let’s head to the kitchen and get cooking! As always, you can find this recipe, along with many others, on the veggrowerpodcast.co.uk and on my Instagram, @seedtotableplot13.
