​Rhubarb, Pink Lady, and Bacon Relish

In this easy to prepare relish, rhubarb’s bright lip-smacking flavor gets slightly tempered and brought whole by Pink Lady’s sweetness, crispy bacon’s smoky mouth-melting richness, and the briny roundness of Castelvetrano olives. While often featured with strawberries in sweet dishes, rhubarb has a sensuous savory side that cuts the fattiness of a pan-seared steak and brings roasted duck breast to higher ground than the traditional sweet pairings of cherry compote or orange sauce.
 
A sly super food, rhubarb contains significant amounts of the polyphenols anthraquinone & tannin; lutein, which promotes skin & eye health by neutralizing free-radicals; antioxidants to prevent a wide range of cancers; calcium for bone health, and vitamin K to fortify the blood’s ability to clot (University Health; Live Strong). Unfortunately, fresh rhubarb has a short window of availability in early through mid-spring, so enjoy it in all its complexity while you can.
 
With just a short amount of prep time and a few key ingredients, Rhubarb, Pink Lady, and Bacon Relish captures the seasonal bridge between winter and spring. You can prepare all of the ingredients a few hours ahead of time except for the rhubarb peeling and dicing, which is best executed within two hours of serving.
 
1 slice crisped bacon, small diced
½ cup Pink Lady apple, small diced
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon honey
1/3 cup rhubarb, peeled and small diced
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
3 Castelvetrano olives, pitted and finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
 
1. Cook the bacon in a stainless steel pan on medium-low until crispy. Set it aside to cool on a paper towel.
2. In the same pan, on medium-low heat, cook the diced apple for about 3 minutes.
3. Small dice the bacon once it has cooled.
4. Place all of the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl except the bacon and parsley.
4. Let the ingredients mingle for about 20-30 minutes, fold in the bacon and parsley, and serve over thinly sliced grass-fed flank, hanger, skirt steak or roasted duck breast.
