*Baked rhubarb with sweet labneh

from Plenty More (page 303) by Yotam Ottolenghi

A simple, and excellent rich dessert. (Ottolenghi’s recipes rarely disappoints)

I couldn’t wait 12 hours to make labneh (strained yoghurt) so I bought some.

The recipe is online.

Basically rhubarb stems baked in sugar, vanilla (pod and seeds), lemon peel and dessert wine (I used a Stanton & Killeen vintage port & a Boronia Marsala).

Topped with unsalted pistachio nuts and lemon zest, and cooking juice.

Yum!
