1 Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Place
the rhubarb in a pan with the orange juice
and 50g/2oz of the sugar. Heat gently to
dissolve the sugar, then cover and cook for
a few mins until the rhubarb is softened but
still holding its shape, about 5 mins. Tip into
a 1.5-litre gratin dish.
2 Put the flour, orange zest and remaining
sugar in a bowl, add the butter, then rub
in with your fingertips until the mixture
resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the milk
to make a soft dough. Drop 8 spoonfuls of
mixture over the rhubarb and scatter with
the almonds. Bake for 25-30 mins until the
topping is crisp and golden. Serve warm
with mascarpone or creme fraiche.
