Interesting comments their Jenny, I have downloaded a podcast from gardenfork.tv, its american but he was cooking a jamie oliver dish, pork with rhubarb, didnt look very good but they seemed to like it.

the BBC Good Food recipe archive has duck and rhubarb compote and also a pork and rhubarb i think.

but being pescatarian i was curious to see if i could find a way to use is in a savoury dish other than a chutney on a cheese board type thing.

After reading this I did pork and rhubarb last night, never done it before, stunning, far better than apple sauce.

Yes the Pork & Rhubarb is a winner

Dont Qourn do some kind of burger, you could do that with rhubarb maybe.

i try to avoid fake "meat" - i think if you are a veggie you should eat veggies personally! although on not so good days it is a easy option to bung in the oven.

thinking about it - red cabbage is often done in a sweet kind of way with balsamic vinegar/apples etc - maybe it could be used there?

we eat loads of qourn but dont look at it as meat, I know the packaging etc is try to convince us its meat but we see it as qourn. This is where I get confused, bit like plot holders that are organic but then throw growmore on, I cant really see why this should affect you and your food politics but I aint going to judge you or your principles, instead I will in a confused way respect your stand. Why not simmer some rhubarb down, seive it through and reduce and pour the liquid over your braised cabbage.

i don't see it as meat either really aidy. i didn't mean it in a negative way. i do eat it i guess i see it as a ready meal in a way and i don't like to think of my self as a lazy cook. even tho if you use plain quorn there are so many way you can use it and make it more interesting and like you say using it as a basic ingredient like chicken.

my issues with food are so complicated i change my opinions so often i confuse myself most of the time Aidy!! so to be honest i wouldn't listen to any opinions i make regarding food as i can be pretty certain they won't be rational!! facts yes, opinions - no!

anyway i have some red cabbage in the fridge to use up so i might try it some time this week.

can you over pick rhubarb?

Yes.
I tend to take a few stems from each crown, although I love it I dont it loads of it as tends loosen things up. I always leave a good few stems for the following years. Re: Qourn, we use it coz in the things like spag bol etc the texture is far better than mince and no after taste. I know we have had plenty of threads on here regarding it, it seems you love it or hate it. Have you tried the new slices yet, great on me butties with some salad.
