Chilled Rhubarb Soup with Rose Parfait, Strawberry Sorbet, Candid Pistachios, Strawberries, and Rhubarb Chips This dessert features a fruit, a vegetable, and a flower, all with a natural affinity for each other. The rhubarb soup is sweet and tangy, softened by a delicate and creamy rose parfait. The crunchy pistachio nuts fit right in with these sweet, distinctive flavors, and the more delicate crunch of the rhubarb chips is a nice tart contrast to the rich, nutty garnish. The warmth of the rhubarb, rose and pistachio flavors is in pleasing opposition to the cool temperatures of the soup, parfait and sorbet. Components Chilled Rhubarb Soup Rose Parfaits Candied Pistachios Strawberry Sorbet Rhubarb Chips Fresh hulled strawberries, quartered Directions Ladle the soup into shallow bowls. Place a rose parfait in the center of each bowl and scatter strawberries around the parfait. Sprinkle with candied pistachios. Top each parfait with a small scoop of sorbet and finish with a rhubarb chip.Fleming, Claudia is the author of 'Last Course The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern', published 2001 under ISBN 9780375504297 and ISBN 037550429X.
