Poached Rhubarb With Oranges & Basil Recipe
Step 1: Mix rhubarb and sugar together in a pan, adding just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and poach for a few minutes, taking care not to overcook: it collapses into a jam-like mass very quickly. Remove the rhubarb and reduce remaining liquid until thickened to a syrup consistency.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine orange zest, segments and juice, basil leaves and sugar; add to rhubarb syrup.
Step 3: To serve, spoon pieces of rhubarb into a bowl or individual dessert dishes, add rhubarb/orange mixture and top with yogurt.
