Stewed Rhubarb with Ginger

Stewed rhubarb with ginger
Serves: 6
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes

Rhubarb has a distinct sour-bitter taste. However, this recipe pairs it with sugar and ginger to makes a delicious compote! This stew can then be eaten by itself or served over low FODMAP ice cream, pancakes or in muffins. But remember don't eat the leaves as they contain a poisonous chemical called oxalic acid!!
