Rhubarb & strawberry crumble with custard

1 x Roasted rhubarb
(see 'goes well with' below)
250g strawberries
hulled and halved

For the crumble

85g plain flour
50g golden caster sugar
25g ground almond
50g butter
room temperature, chopped
finely grated zest 1 small orange
2 handfuls pine nuts
serve with the best custard
you can buy

Method

step 1
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Prepare the roasted rhubarb adding the halved strawberries after 15 mins of cooking. Cook, uncovered, for a further 5 mins until the rhubarb is tender and the strawberries slightly softened. Tip into a shallow dish, about 25 x 18 x 5cm, with enough of the syrupy juices to keep the fruit juicy. (Any leftover can be served with the crumble.)
step 2
While the fruits are roasting, prepare the crumble. Mix the flour, sugar and ground almonds, then add the butter and rub together to make coarse crumbs. Stir in the orange zest.
step 3
Spoon the crumble loosely over the fruit, then scatter with the pine nuts. Bake straight away for 25 mins until golden and bubbly. Cool a little before serving with custard and any remaining syrup.
