Ginger cardamom rhubarb compote
I love rhubarb. LOVE. But, I’ve never made something this simple with it! It’s usually muffins and pies and crisps, etc. This recipe is so beautifully simple and easy, and leaves you with an easy to way to shovel more rhubarb in your mouth.
I've been eating this with yogurt for the past week or so. I think it'd also be great on some pound cake, if you’re getting dessert-y! Or just on a spoon. You know. I definitely do that.
Use your discretion on the sugar – it’s totally up to you if you want it to be more sweet or more sour. If you're serving it with dessert, maybe go tangy! If you're gonna put it on plain yogurt … maybe go sweet. The recipe is slightly on the less-sweet side. I'd go up to 1 cup of sugar for a sweeter option.
