Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped (about 450g)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 1/2 cup water (120ml)
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (480ml), full-fat or low-fat
- Honey, for drizzling
- Edible rose petals (optional), a small handful
Instructions
- Rinse and trim the rhubarb stalks, then chop into roughly 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) pieces.
- Add chopped rhubarb, sugar, and water into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently to combine and dissolve sugar, about 3-4 minutes.
- Lower heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb softens and starts to break apart, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in lemon juice and rose water once rhubarb is mostly soft with some chunks remaining. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend flavors.
- Remove from heat and let the compote cool to room temperature; it will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Spoon the compote over Greek yogurt, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle edible rose petals if desired. Serve.
Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for brightness and color preservation. Measure rose water carefully to avoid bitterness. Slow simmering preserves texture and flavor. Store compote in airtight container in fridge up to 5 days. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
