Rhubarb, Ginger & Orange Compote
How do you eat your rhubarb? Crumble of course is the obvious choice, and there’s no arguing a rhubarb crumble is a very fine pud. But rhubarb also makes a great pie, tart, cake or muffin. And for a savoury twist it’s lovely cooked down with a little sugar and thyme and served with mackerel. But for breakfast or an easy pud, how about making a simple but nevertheless delicious compote to serve with greek yogurt, pancakes, porridge or granola. This recipe is flavoured with stem ginger and orange, blood orange if you have one.
