Strawberry Rhubarb Sourdough skillet combines sweet and sour flavors to create the most delicious dessert! Sweetened with honey only, you can feel good about eating this recipe.
I love having skillet recipes in my back pocket to make baking quick and simple. It’s so nice to be able to both prepare and cook an entire recipe in the same dish for easy cleanup.
Strawberries have been on my mind recently. If you haven’t noticed, I recently posted my recipe for homemade Sourdough Berry Pop Tarts, which you HAVE to try. In addition, I’m sure I’ll be sharing more strawberry recipes with you soon since we have a June baring strawberry patch to reap fruit from in a couple of months! Bottom line is, you can’t go wrong with Strawberries.
I had a neighbor give us some fresh Rhubarb from her garden last year. I froze it and didn’t get around to using it because I didn’t know much about it. Aside from trying it last year, I think I’ve only eaten it once in jam as a child. I’m here to tell you that rhubarb is a hidden gem. If you can get your hands on some or grow it yourself, it makes a great compliment for any fruit recipe. Rhubarb adds a tart flavor to the dish as well as plenty of vitamins that your body needs to function properly.
What is a “skillet”?
I define a skillet dish as anything that is baked together in a Cast Iron skillet, like Sourdough Eggs Benedict Casserole. I simply just call any dish that has a filling and is topped with Sourdough goodness, a skillet recipe.
Rhubarb FAQ
Surprisingly Rhubarb is actually a vegetable, not a fruit, though it’s often mistaken as such. This is a vegetable that isn’t really eaten raw because of it’s sour taste. It is great to be used in things like pies or crumbles, where it is cooked with a sugar and/or other ingredients.
Vitamin K1 and fiber a couple of nutrients that are found in high amounts in Rhubarb. In some parts of the world, Rhubarb is used in Chinese medicine. Rhubarb is also a great source of antioxidants.
One caution to take is to be aware of how much Rhubarb you consume. Rhubarb is high in oxalate which has been known to be toxic to some who experience kidney stones. If this isn’t you, then I’d encourage you to give a recipe a little Rhubarb to add a unique, sour taste.
