Rhubarb Compote

Prep time: 5 min., Cook time: ~ 20 min., Total time: 25 min.

Makes: ~ 1 cup

 

Ingredients

  • 2 heaping cups rhubarb with leaves removed

  • 3 Tbsp. maple syrup

  • 1 tsp. aged balsamic vinegar (the thicker the better)

  • 1 Tbsp. chia seeds

 

Directions

  1. Rinse and chop rhubarb into ½” slices.

  2. Combine rhubarb, maple syrup, and balsamic vinegar into a saucepan over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to stir until rhubarb softens (~ 8 minutes).

  3. Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Allow mixture to sit for a minimum of 10 minutes, so that the chia can expand and the mixture thickens.

  4. Serve warm or cool. My personal favorite is to serve warm over gf waffles with a dollop of Strawberry Cream. I’ve also been known to use the compote mixed into oatmeal or chilled and spread onto toast. Enjoy however you think best!

Pro Tips

Prep: compote can be made a day in advance of when you foresee using it. The longer it sits, the more it will thicken and allow flavors to meld.

Storage: keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
