Rhubarb Compôte
Sometimes the simplest recipe can be a star if it's done properly. Rhubarb suffers from being over-boiled and smashed to a pulp, but if you cook it gently in the oven with just sugar and no water, it will slowly release its juice, keep its chunky shape – and taste wonderful.
Serves 3
| Ingredients |
|---|
| 1lb 8 oz (700g) rhubarb, trimmed and cut into chunks |
| 3 oz (75 g) soft light brown sugar |
| zest and juice of 1 large orange |
| 1 heaped teaspoon grated root ginger |
| Preheat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C). |
