Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick
cooking spray. To prepare crust: Combine nuts, oats, brown sugar, salt,
flour, shortening and baking soda. With a pastry blender or 2 knives held
scissor-fashion, blend until crumbly. Pat half the mixture into prepared
pan.
To prepare the filling: In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch
and water. Cook until no longer cloudy. Blend in vanilla. Pour filling over
crust. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top. Bake 20 minutes or until
lightly browned. Adapted from "Sharing Our Best"- Community Cookbook.
