Preheat the oven to 375F. Make a compact row of the rhubarb pieces 2 inches from one long edge of the dough. Sprinkle the rhubarb with the brown sugar, cinnamon, orange zest, walnuts, and any remaining amaretti crumbs. Layer 2 more sheets of phyilo dough, brushing with butter, over the rhubarb and last sheet of phyllo. starting at the edge of the rhubarb, roll up the dough like a jelly roll. Turn seam side up and brush the top and sides with butter. Turn seam side down, fold both nds under to seal, and brush the top with butter. Bake until golden, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand several minutes, then slice. Serve with whipped cream and/or ice cream. Posted to recipelu-digest Volume 01 Number 352 by James and Susan Kirkland <kirkland@gj.net> on Dec 09, 1997
