8 Rhubarb Recipes You Need to Try (and so do I!)

The rhubarb is ready (and we have LOTS in the LE kitchen). But what am I going to do with all of this rhubarb? Here are some recipes to help you and I both bust our rhubarb stash! Because I’m baking impaired, I’ve tried to add recipes that are beginner friendly or don’t involve much (or any) baking!

First things first, be sure to clean your rhubarb well, remove the leaves (they’re poisonous) and if your rhubarb has a tough outer skin, peel it! Remember too, rhubarb can be frozen!

Com & Eat – Taber, Alberta

Sometimes you find an establishment that really knows what they’re doing, and today we found a great example of that, COM & EAT Mobile Concession & Catering in Taber, Alberta. They’re really establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the food truck scene in Southern Alberta, serving up, “authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine with a modern flair.” Their menu is concise, with the right amount of variety. They serve up the basics, fresh food, full of flavor for fair prices.

We started with salad rolls, very fresh, made with both chicken and shrimp loads of cilantro and a splash of basil. These have the right noodle to other stuff ratio, though the wrappers didn’t fare too well during the walk home. The only comment I can make, and it’s not negative, is that they could have used more fresh basil (that’s simply a personal preference). Continue reading →

Chef B’s Food Truck – Taber, Alberta

Last week I was able to stop in at one of the new food trucks coming out of Taber, Alberta, Chef B’s. I don’t have much info on Chef Brian but I can tell you this, he makes a great pulled pork. Chef B’s staff are really friendly, they know their menu and were able to answer questions about their food.

I was flying solo last week, so I only had the chance to try their pulled pork sandwich with cajun slaw and their watermelon and cucumber salad with feta and balsamic vinegar.

The pulled pork sandwich was a generous portion, perfectly juicy (without being messy) on a soft roll. The cajun slaw is the perfect compliment, a little bit of tang with just a touch of spice. Continue reading →
