Gordon Ramsay’s rhubarb crumble features fresh rhubarb tossed with sugar and orange zest, baked beneath a crumbly topping made from flour, butter, and demerara sugar. His method brings out the best in the rhubarb—cooked until soft and juicy—while the crumble stays crisp and golden. It’s rustic, elegant, and perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions.

Ingredients

For the fruit filling:

  • 1½ lbs (700g) fresh rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

For the crumble topping:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup (100g) cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • ½ cup (100g) demerara sugar (or light brown sugar)

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2 tablespoons oats or chopped nuts (optional, for added texture)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a baking dish (8×8-inch or similar).

  • Prepare the fruit base: In a large bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb with sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and cinnamon if using. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.

  • Make the crumble topping: In another bowl, mix the flour and a pinch of salt. Add the cubed cold butter and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

  • Add the sugar and extras: Stir in the demerara sugar and oats or chopped nuts if using. Mix until well combined.

  • Top the fruit mixture: Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the rhubarb, covering it fully but not pressing down too hard.

  • Bake the crumble: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling around the edges.

  • Cool and serve: Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving warm with your favorite accompaniment.
