Instructions: (P); (D) if served with sour cream or yoghurt

1. Clean the rhubarb, cut in 1-inch pieces, and simmer, covered with water, about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain.

2. Place the spinach or sorrel, rhubarb, salt, and the water in a pot.

Bring the water to a boil, and simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Beat the egg and fold in. Although the egg is traditional, I often omit it. Refrigerate several hours and serve with a dollop of sour cream, cucumbers, and radishes.
