What To Serve With It

I love pairing mulberry and rhubarb dishes with sides that balance their sweet-tart flavors, like creamy vanilla ice cream or a simple yogurt parfait. For something savory, try them with a sharp cheese platter or toasted nuts to add crunch. Let’s explore some perfect pairings that’ll make your meal shine.

Complementary Side Dishes

When you’re serving mulberry and rhubarb dishes, you’ll want sides that balance their sweet-tart flavors without stealing the spotlight. I love pairing them with seasonal ingredients that bring out their unique taste. Think fresh greens like arugula or spinach, tossed with a light vinaigrette—it’s simple but works wonders. Roasted root vegetables, like carrots or beets, add earthy notes that complement the fruitiness. For something creamy, a dollop of tangy yogurt or a slice of mild cheese can round out the meal. These sides keep the focus on the star of the dish while adding depth and variety to your plate.

Perfect Pairing Suggestions

Though mulberry and rhubarb dishes shine on their own, they’re even better when paired with the right accompaniments. I love balancing their tart and sweet flavor profiles with creamy yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream—it’s a match made in heaven! Seasonal ingredients like fresh mint or a sprinkle of toasted nuts add a invigorating crunch. For something savory, try a sharp cheese like goat or feta—it contrasts beautifully. Don’t forget a crusty piece of bread or a flaky pastry to soak up the juices. Trust me, these pairings will take your dish to the next level!
