Stewed Rhubarb & Ginger Compote with Yoghurt
Share
Rhubarb is sharp, bright, and completely transformed by a little time on the stove. Stewed gently with ginger and a touch of honey, it becomes soft and tangy. Spoon it over thick Greek yoghurt. It's spring in a bowl.
Ingredients (Serves 2):
- 300g rhubarb, chopped into batons
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp water
- Greek yoghurt to serve
Method:
- Put the rhubarb, honey, ginger, and water in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has broken down into a soft compote.
- Serve warm or cold, spooned over yoghurt.
Why it's gut-friendly: Rhubarb is a prebiotic food, feeding good gut bacteria. Ginger is anti-inflammatory. Yoghurt provides probiotics. A light, tangy dessert.
