Rhubarb and strawberry compote


Rhubarb and strawberry compote

Just read this Swiss recipe, in making a trifle like cake. I findd the combination interesting as I have rhubarb and strawberries in the garden ready to harvest, just that the strawberries are not very sweet in this not very sunny spring, and all my "friends" in the garden have a good tasting while I was not looking. So this compote is a good way to use up these second rate fruit. I add ginger and lemon zest to enrich the flavor of the compote.
 
Rhubarb and strawberry compote
1. Peel rhubarb and cut into cubes, cut strawberry into halves, ginger into fine cubes and prepare lemon zest.
2. Cook rhubarb with ginger, lemon zest, brown sugar and a pinch of salt until just turn soft, 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Add strawberry into hot compote to soften, I like my fruit to be not too soft and still have some shape and texture.
4. Serve on yogurt or simply enjoy as such.
