Prepare the rhubarb:
Rhubarb: Discard the leaves; they are poisonous. Clean and chop the rhubarb.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 400°F. Lightly grease the baking tin.
Tart crust:
Make the crumbles: Place the flour, sugar, and salt into the bowl of the kitchen machine. Pulse to mix. Add the cold, chopped butter to the flour mixture and pulse until you obtain large crumbs. 300 g/10.5 oz flour + 180 g/ 6.5 oz sugar + pinch of salt + 220 g/ 2 sticks cold butter Transfer ⅔ of this mixture into the prepared tin, spread it onto the bottom of the tin, and press it with your fingers to obtain a smooth surface.

Prick the tart crust with a fork before baking so that it doesn’t puff up in the oven.
