Simple rhubarb tart (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
Oh, rhubarb will soon be back! And with it, this ultra-simple tart that's sure to please real fans of this tangy fruit. But be warned, there's a high risk of addiction! The combination of the slightly tangy acidity of the rhubarb and the caramelised crunch of the shortbread pastry is absolutely irresistible. A seasonal dessert that's just as appetising as an afternoon snack as it is at coffee time.
