RHUBARB PARFAIT
Steps:
- Prepare the rhubarb by putting it in a saucepan with the sugar and 1/4-cup/60 ml water. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft. If it seems too runny, simply leave on the heat, stirring, to let some of the liquid evaporate. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Beat the egg white to stiff peaks with the pinch of salt. Heat the sugar with 3 tablespoons of water to thread stage. Cook's Note: Which is just before it starts to color.
- With the beaters going, pour the sugar-water mixture into the beaten egg whites and continue beating until the stiff meringue is cooled. Meanwhile, beat the cream to peaks with the vanilla extract. Fold the two mixtures together.
- Spoon the rhubarb in the bottoms of 4 coupes. Top with parfait. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm rhubarb: Look for stalks that are bright red or pink, with no blemishes or bruises.
- Trim the rhubarb: Cut off the leaves and the tough ends of the stalks.
- Microwave the rhubarb: This is the easiest way to cook the rhubarb. Simply cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
- Stovetop cooking: You can also cook the rhubarb on the stovetop. Add the rhubarb to a saucepan with a little bit of water or juice and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
- Cool the rhubarb: Once the rhubarb is cooked, let it cool completely before using it in the parfait.
- Use a good quality yogurt: Greek yogurt or whole milk yogurt are both good options.
- Sweeten the parfait to taste: You can use honey, maple syrup, or sugar to sweeten the parfait.
- Add your favorite toppings: Granola, nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit are all great toppings for a rhubarb parfait.
