I’ve been talking about my rhubarb and mint cornbread a lot these days, and I’ve had several people ask for the recipe. So …

Since rhubarb is in season, why not use it? Years ago, I started experimenting with the savory side of rhubarb. It’s easy to add it to muffins or create a sweet salad, but why not create savory dishes too?

Yes, you can argue cornbread isn’t exactly savory. But I always pair it with tofu and veggies, soups, or salads. And I LOVE the taste of rhubarb and mint included in the cornbread. It adds a touch of Gorgeousness you don’t get from traditional cornbread. (And this is a plant-based, vegan version too.) Win/win! Try it and let me know what you think.
