A few weeks ago I was walking through Trastevere and saw this store.
I saw stalks of rhubarb and had to buy them. I haven't had any since I moved here. Strawberry Rhubarb is one of my favorite food combos. The sweetness of the strawberries cut the tartness of the rhubarb.
I love Strawberry Rhubarb pie with a crumble top. However, I didn't have the time or energy to look for oats. I had pasty sheets in my freezer (I was going to make a goat cheese tart at some point) and used them instead. Not sure when rhubarb is in season again (spring?). When it is I will be making these.
Strawberry Rhubarb Tart
Follow the instructions for defrosting your pasty sheets or make your own. Cut the dough into 7-inch rounds. Put them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place sheets into the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
For the filling:
1 pound rhubarb, cut into 1 inch pieces (approximately 3 cups)
1 pound fresh strawberries, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/3 cup all purpose flour
3/4 - 1 cup granulated white sugar
Combine the rhubarb, strawberries, flour and sugar.
Take the pastry out of the fridge and place some of the filling in the center, leaving a border or an inch or so (You might need to leave closer to two inches depending on how much filling you use. I didn't leave enough and some of my tarts spilled over).
Place the tarts back in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Bake tarts on the center rack for approx. 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden.
I'm sure this taste great with some good vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
Makes 8 tarts.

I've never had rhubarb, strano no? Sooner or later I want to try these because I love fruit desserts and I'm curious about the combo.
Very nice. Your lucky in that your produe looks more appealing than whats available here.I just had a thought. I wonder what goat cheese and rhubarb combo might taste like. It could work maybe?Think brie and apricots.
this looks DELIGHTFUL!
Strawberry rhubarnb is deelish! I wish I could have one of your tarts right now.
Delicious! I love strawberry rhubarb. I never realized they even had it here.
joanne - it's very good w/a sweet fruit like strawberries.
glamah16 - interesting. I'm not very adventurous when it comes to cheese. I live goat cheese but have never combined it with fruit. Something to think about. Yes the produce here is outstanding.
gibber - :)
sherry - I wish I could have one now too. I guess I'll have to wait. I don't think they sell frozen rhubarb here.
jessica - I just happened to see it that morning on my way to doria phamphili. I came back later and bought some.
ragazza, this looks just scrumptious!! If I lived in Rome me and my sweet tooth would be at your door saying "hellew--- anyone home....."
diana - ha. It's the first time I've baked since I moved here. I will be doing more of it (unfortunately for my waistline).
I love strawberry rhubarb - love the idea of using puff pastry.
I've never had rhubarb either. Looks great! And what a cute little frutteria :)
city girl - I just started using puff pastry last year (thanks to Ina and Giada ). It's great. I always keep sheets in my freezer.
michelle - It's very yummy! I've only had it with strawberry. I've passed that frutteria many times. I love seeing what's in season.
