Strawberry Crumble

As common readers know, I’ve the self management of a kid once I spy bargains of my favorite fruit & veg. So once in a while, I am going on a bender of no matter it’s that I’ve overloaded on.

Just a few weeks in the past it was broccoli (proof -> all my Broccoli Recipes) and cabbage (therefore the Chinese language Chicken Salad and On a regular basis Cabbage Salad I lately posted). Final week, it was corn (nothing made it right here).

At the moment, it’s strawberries. No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream from a few weeks in the past. In the present day – Strawberry Crumble.

A GREAT, EASY STRAWBERRY DESSERT

I was massively brief on strawberry dessert recipes. With all of the cooking reveals I watch, all of the magazines I flick via, all of the cookbooks I browse, I simply don’t actually recall coming throughout recipes that caught my eye that actually celebrated strawberries.

Loads the place they have been lined up neatly on tarts, or used as token decorations.

However that’s not what I used to be after. I needed recipes that used a great deal of strawberries.

Anybody else had related ideas???

So in recent times, I’ve launched into strawberry benders and am slowly however steadily increase an arsenal of contemporary strawberry dessert recipes. This Strawberry Crumble is the most recent addition.

After which that second once I crack via the golden nubbly topping and scoop it up…and also you cop an eyeful of these plump strawberries dripping with that vivid pink syrup… and the scent! If solely you possibly can scent it!!!!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup rolled oats / oatmeal (quick cooking is ok)
• 3/4 cup white flour , plain/all purpose
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (loosely packed)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon powder
• Pinch of salt
• 90g / 6 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
• 1 kg / 2 lb strawberries , ripe
• 2 1/2 tbsp cornflour / cornstarch
• 1/3 – 1/2 cup white sugar (Note 1)
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Vanilla ice cream , dollop cream or custard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
2. Place all ingredients except butter in a bowl. Mix to combine. Add butter and mix to incorporate.
3. Hull / cut top off strawberries. Cut larger ones in half, leave small ones whole (2cm / 4/5″ height).
4. Place strawberries in bowl. Scatter over cornflour, toss well to coat evenly.
5. Add sugar, water and vanilla. Mix well.
6. Pour strawberries into a baking pan (Note 2). Crumble over topping, using your fingers to get some nice crumbly chunks.
7. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the Topping is deep golden and the strawberry syrup is bubbling up energetically all around the edges – see video, this is a key sign that the strawberry sauce has thickened sufficiently.
8. Stand for a few minutes before serving with ice cream or your choice of topping.

Notes

1. Use 1/2 cup if the strawberries are not that sweet or if you have a sweet tooth. Use 1/3 cup if your strawberries are really ripe and sweet.
2. I use a 1.5L / 1.5 Qt / 6 cup, 18 x 26 cm / 7 x 11″ oval shape, or thereabouts. A large pie dish should work well. A 20 cm / 8″ square pan is too small – you could put leftovers in a ramekin or similar.
3. GENERAL NOTES: * The strawberries will soften and some will break down, some will hold their shape better. That’s just the way it is! * It’s really important to wait until you see syrup bubbling up all around the edges of the pan and the top is deep golden as this is the sign that the syrup has thickened adequately in the middle. Otherwise when you break into the crumble, you’ll be greeted with a pool of water. IF THIS HAPPENS just put it back in the oven. * The thickness of the syrup will vary from a perfect syrup consistency to chunky strawberry sauce-like. It just depends on the juiciness of the strawberries. Both are great. Also, it thickens as it cools.
3. Make ahead – Assemble crumble, cover and set aside (fridge if hot weather). Chop strawberries, store in airtight container. Then toss strawberries in cornflour, sugar, water, vanilla, and assemble crumble. DO NOT leave the strawberries sitting around coated in the sugar, it makes it sweat and soften too much.
4. Nutrition per serving, excludes ice cream.
