Rhubarb and almond tart
1 hour 15 min
A bit of a bakewell but not quite. The rhubarb adds moisture and is lovely served with a dollop of cream. I always buy shop bought pastry as I'm a working mum, I don't feel guilty ;)

Tip
You can use as much rhubarb as you like; if you love it use the 200g but if like me you like less just use half that amount.
