Ingredients

  • 1 bunch rhubarb, cut into 10 cm lengths
  • 3½ tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1½ tsp rosewater
  • 2 tbsp almond meal
  • 2 tbsp red quinoa
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tsp mixed spice
  • 200 g fresh ricotta
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200˚C.

Combine rhubarb, 2 tablespoons honey, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon rosewater and 20 ml water in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 180˚C. Remove the foil, stir gently to coat the rhubarb in the released juices and bake for a further 5–8 minutes until tender, but still holding shape. Strain the liquid into a small saucepan and reduce for 2–3 minutes until syrupy.

Combine the almond meal, quinoa, coconut oil, 1 tablespoon honey and mixed spice. Toss until combined. Spread the crumble in a thin layer on a baking paper-lined oven tray. Bake at 180˚C for 8–10 minutes or until golden. Break the crumble up with a spoon and bake for a further 3–4 minutes until evenly cooked.

Blend the ricotta, milk, 2 teaspoons honey and ½ teaspoon rosewater in a blender until smooth and fluffy.

Divide rhubarb between bowls and drizzle with syrup. Sprinkle over crumble and top with whipped ricotta.
