Sharp rhubarb makes a great contrast with rich chocolate and crunchy nuts in these easy Rhubarb, Pecan and Chocolate Slices by Rukmini Iyer, known for her cookbook series, The Roasting Tin. The chocolate, olive oil and sugar are melted together at the beginning, to give the sponge a lovely texture – and it serves a ton of people!
