Cooks in the Midwest's Red River Valley learned early to take advantage of rhubarb. The celerylike ingredient grows well in a region where strawberries seldom thrive. This recipe comes from RBJ's Restaurant in Crookston, Minnesota."My family loved this recipe," says one of our website reviewers. "I added 2 teaspoonfuls cinnamon to the flour, oat, brown sugar mixture before cutting in butter."
