Ingredients
Unlike pretty much every fruit and veg, rhubarb tastes just as great when it's out of season.
- 500g (1lb 2oz) rhubarb
- 75ml (2½ fl oz) elderflower cordial
- 55g (2oz) caster sugar
- 85g (3oz) ricotta cheese
- 3tbsp fat-free fromage frais
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 8 almond thins or similar small biscuits
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4). Trim the rhubarb, then cut into 5cm (2in) pieces. Place in a roasting tin in one layer, sprinkle with 50ml (2fl oz) of the elderflower cordial and the sugar, cover with foil and roast for 15 mins or until the rhubarb is tender but still holding its shape. Allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the ricotta, fromage frais, lemon zest and remaining elderflower cordial.
- Spoon the rhubarb into small glasses and top with the elderflower cream. Serve with almond thins or similar small biscuits.
