Ingredients

  1. 1-1/2 cups pastry flour
  2. scant 1/4-cup polenta
  3. 1 tsp. aniseeds, toasted
  4. 1/2-cup granulated sugar
  5. large pinch of salt
  6. 1/2-cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  7. 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  8. 3 ripe bananas, cut into 1-inch pieces
  9. 1 lb. rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces
  10. 1 pint basket large, ripe strawberries (about 1 lb.), quartered
  11. 2/3-cup packed light-brown sugar
  12. 2/3-cup granulated sugar
  13. pinch Gray salt
  14. freshly-grated zest of 1/2 orange
  15. freshly-grated zest of 1 lemon
  16. 1/2-tsp. aniseeds, toasted
  17. 1/4-tsp. freshly-ground pepper
  18. 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. To make the topping:
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Measure the flour, polenta, aniseeds, sugar and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Pour the egg into the well and toss the egg and flour together lightly and thoroughly with your fingers until evenly mixed. The mixture will not adhere in the manner of pastry dough but will clump together if pressed in your palm. Set aside until needed.
  3. To make the filling:
  4. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss until well-mixed. Turn into a 2-quart shallow, buttered baking dish. Sprinkle the topping over the filling in an even layer. Do not press down. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch the drips and place in the oven. Bake until the juices are bubbling up around the topping and the top is crisp and golden brown (about 1 hour). Serve warm with gelato or whipped cream if desired.
