The problem with finding recipes online is remembering where you found them later. A few years ago I made a fabulous savory rhubarb dish that used a lot of Indian spices. Unfortunately I can’t find it. But when searching around, I came across this recipe from food2.com. So I decided to give it a try.
Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup red wine (I used a really sweet red wine so I didn’t use any additional sweetener–the original recipe called for 3 Tbsp maple syrup)
- 1/4 C balsamic vinegar
- 2 stalks rhubarb, diced
- 1/2 C chicken stock
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
Directions:
- In a medium skillet, heat 2 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, shallots, garlic, ginger and thyme and soften a minute or two.
- Add wine and cook until reduced by half; add remaining ingredients and cook until rhubarb has softened.
- Serve over grilled pork chops.
The Verdict: While not quite as good as the recipe I now can’t find, it was pretty tasty. The sweet wine helped offset the tartness of the rhubarb.

Have you heard of http://www.recipenut.com? It’s a site where you can save all of your online recipes-free. It basically acts as a favorites folder, taking you back to the original website for the recipe, but I’ve found it useful.
I have not heard of them, thanks for the idea!
I agree, that can be so frustrating. I’m glad you tried a new recipe and enjoyed it despite the fact that it wasn’t as good as the original. Perhaps someday Serendipity will bring it back around your way.
I’m a huge fan of rhubarb, but have never had it in a savory dish. Thank you for linking up to “A Little Birdie Told Me…” and for inspiring me to try rhubarb in a new way!
