Serves: 6
Prep: 5 minutes Cook: 20 minutesRhubarb 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!!

1 bunch rhubarb, trimmed, cut into 8 cm lengths |

If you like the flavour of Aniseed and cinnamon, add some star anise and a cinnamon quill for a wintery treat.
