Instructions
Instructions
Grease your 9 by 13 inch baking dish with some butter. This helps your crisp not stick and makes cleanup easier.
In a bowl, toss together rhubarb, white sugar, and that splash of orange or lemon juice plus zest. Get it mixed up real good so every piece is covered.
Pour the rhubarb mix into your greased baking dish, spreading out evenly so it cooks smooth.
In another bowl, mix up brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and oats. Then chuck in those cold butter pieces. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it until it looks like coarse crumbs – kinda pebbly but buttery.
Scatter this oat mixture evenly over the rhubarb filling. This topping is gonna get all crunchy and brown.
Now pop that whole thing into your pressure cooker pot. You gotta add some water under the trivet to create that broth depth, usually about a cup. Set it on top of the trivet carefully so it doesn’t touch the water.
Lock the lid, check the sealing ring is on, and set to cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. Wait for the pressure build and that float valve to rise. When it’s done, do a quick release to stop the cooking. Wait a few minutes for it to cool before you dig in.
Notes
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
