Red Wine Roasted Rhubarb Compote Food

ROASTED RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Cut 3 rhubarb stalks into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a small baking dish and toss with 1/2 cup sugar and a pinch of salt. Roast at 350 degrees F until soft, about 25 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Serve over ice cream or pound cake.

RED WINE ROASTED-RHUBARB COMPOTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a small bowl, combine vanilla seeds and sugar; reserve vanilla pod for another use. Using your fingers, work vanilla into sugar until evenly distributed. In a large bowl, combine vanilla/sugar with rhubarb pieces and toss well. Transfer mixture to a 10-cup baking dish and pour in wine.
• Roast rhubarb until very tender, about 30 minutes; avoid stirring as it cooks, which would break the rhubarb down into mush.
• Set aside until cooled to room temperature. Transfer rhubarb pieces and syrup to a container, cover, and refrigerate. Serve rhubarb and its syrup alone or with plain yogurt, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is also delicious spooned over a slice of pound cake.

ROSY RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/ gas 4/fan 160C. Halve the rhubarb lengthways then cut into 5cm lengths. Put the fruit into a small roasting tin just large enough to hold it in a single layer (any larger and too much of the liquid will evaporate during cooking).
• Add the remaining ingredients and cover with foil. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the rhubarb is just tender.
• Lift the rhubarb from the cooking liquid with a slotted spoon and put it into a serving dish. Put the roasting tin with the cooking liquid back on the hob and bring to the boil. Bubble for about 5 minutes to reduce it slightly, then remove from the heat.
• Taste the rhubarb liquid - it should be tart without being sour - and stir in a little extra sugar if necessary, then pour it over the rhubarb. You can serve it warm or chill overnight and serve cold.

HONEY ROASTED RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.

• Roast for 1 hour, until rhubarb collapses and OJ is reduced.
• Cool 15 minutes, then stir in vanilla and serve or store.

RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine rhubarb with sugar over low heat. When the rhubarb starts to soften, but before it falls apart, about 5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl.
• Cook down the remaining liquid in the pan until it thickens and turns syrupy, about 5 minutes longer. (This condenses and intensifies the rhubarb flavor.) Add the syrup to the bowl with the rhubarb and let cool. Compote will keep for at least a week in the fridge.
