Those Hungarians. So clever. Who would have thought to use a cheese grater to make a dessert? Makes you wonder if there was once a shortage of cheese in Hungary and a housewife felt bad about the cheese grater her kids had given her for Christmas that never got used, so she decided to grate some shortbread dough into a pan? Whatever the reason, I loved this recipe. I mean really, really loved it, can't wait to make it again, loved it.
I was excited from the beginning when I saw the recipe had rhubarb. Growing up in Ohio, rhubarb was a rite of spring. But living in Texas, I never see it. Luckily a fancy super market sells it frozen in one pound bags. I was skeptical of how thick the shortbread looked in the picture, but once I tasted it, thickness was not an issue. It just meant more of the yummy buttery flavor to sandwich the tart rhubarb.

wasnt the grating such a cool idea.. quite taken in with it.. I personally had to go with a substitution for the rhubarb.. a plum jam!!
Love your grater theory! Hehe! Lovely job on these!
Ha! Great grater theory.
Great job. Thanks for baking along.
It's great you were able to find a source for the rhubarb. It's interesting to see the challenges we each face in our region. Vancouver's a perfect environment for rhubarb, but citrus season always leaves me a little envious of folks in more southern climes.
