Buttery Rhubarb Baklava
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped rhubarb
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 package phyllo dough (16 ounces)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pistachios)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup honey
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with some of the melted butter.
- Place a sheet of phyllo dough in the dish and brush with butter. Repeat with half of the phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
- Sprinkle half of the nuts over the phyllo dough, then top with half of the rhubarb mixture. Repeat the layering process with the remaining phyllo sheets, nuts, and rhubarb mixture.
- Cut the baklava into diamond-shaped pieces using a sharp knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the baklava is baking, combine the remaining melted butter, cinnamon, and honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove the baklava from the oven and pour the honey mixture over the top. Let cool before serving.
