Just because we're used to eating rhubarb as part of a dessert doesn't mean we shouldn't try it for something savoury. It is a vegetable after all.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped, peeled apple
- 1 sprig rosemary, leaves removed and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups rhubarb (trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
- salt and pepper
Instructions
In a medium skillet, sauté onion in olive oil over medium heat until soft. Season with salt and pepper. Add the apple, rosemary, vinegar and brown sugar. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add rhubarb and cook over low heat, stirring often, until the rhubarb is soft (about 15 minutes). Season again with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the compote cool completely, cover and let sit in the refrigerator for a couple hours to let the flavours meld.
