Rhubarb recipe idea. Untested. Might fail. Join me in real-time as I attempt to utilize some frozen rhubarb that's been sitting there for a few weeks.
Ingredients -

vanilla beans
fresh ginger

okay so while these guys are cooking, let me explain the next few steps and maybe some of you more experienced can chime in with some critiques / ideas.
Half way through cooking, I'm gonna pull the bags out and shake em up a bit to redistribute the ingredients then put them back in the bath.
After cooking, I will strain the solids from the liquids (separately) then mix the liquids with some gelatin water.
Then I'll fills some mini-loaf molds with a couple solid rhubarb pieces and cover it with the liquid. After a few hours in the fridge, I should have some vanilla-rhubarb jello and ginger-rhubarb jello with sweetened rhubarb in the center.
The vanilla-rhubarb jello will have the ginger-rhubarb solids in the middle and vice-versa.
Topped with yogurt whipped cream.
You know, I'd like to see the energy use of sous vide vs. just cooking it in a fucking pot. Heating up a huge bucket of water seems like a massive waste of energy.
What the hell is rhubarb? You can't just make up ingredients, ya dip!

Shit while you're at it, let's look at the energy it took to keep them frozen for the past few weeks vs growing them myself. I honestly don't give a fuck if it's wasteful, but I'm glad someone out there does.

You're missing out.
Back to the recipe... bags are out of the bath. Time to strain the solids from the liquids.

Yeah. Rhubarb season came and went quickly and none of the local stores got any. Wanted to make a pie with it a few weeks ago and ended up nixing the idea and made it with fresh fruit instead... so I've been trying to think of what to do with this frozen rhubarb and this thread here is what I came up with.
All strained. Liquids have had some gelatin water added to them.
