Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 2 cups old fashioned large flake oats
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 3 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 container vanilla ice cream or gelato

Instructions

  1. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron works great) to medium-high heat and add in butter, sugar, salt and oats.

  2. Cook, stirring often for about 5-7 minutes until the oats are well-coated and golden.

  3. Remove the oats from the pan into a bowl and set aside.

  4. In the same pan, add water, rhubarb, strawberries and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. 

  5. Once you reach a boil, turn the pan to medium-low and simmer stirring once and a while until the rhubarb and strawberries have cooked down to a beautiful sauce, about 7-10 minutes.

  6. Set the strawberry-rhubarb sauce off the heat to cool. 

  7. To assemble the sundaes, fill the bottom of a cup with oats (about a 1/4 cup of oats per cup), then drizzle in the strawberry-rhubarb compote, followed by a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream and top with more oats and strawberry-rhubarb sauce.

From the delicious and beautiful fruits and vegetables at the market to the longer days, this time of year has me so excited to enjoy it all!

Buying fresh herbs in the Winter & not sure how to Buying fresh herbs in the Winter & not sure how to store them to make sure they keep longer?! I’ve put together my top 4 tips for storing fresh herbs:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Soft herbs like parsley, basil, cilantro and dill have ‘soft’ stems so store them like you would fresh flowers. For parsley, cilantro and dill, cut about 1 inch off the stems, place in a jar with water, cover with a plastic produce or ziploc bag and store in the fridge. Keep in the fridge and replace the water every couple of days. These can last about 2 weeks so when ready to use, take the amount you need and wash!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Basil is a bit of a tricky one as it’s very delicate. If purchased from the grocery store, it’s likely grown in a greenhouse and comes already packaged. I usually leave this at room temperature and use it within a couple of days. If I’m cutting basil from the garden, I’m generally going to use it right away. However, you could follow the same instructions as the soft herbs BUT leave it in the water at room temperature.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Hard herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage store well when wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel, then wrapped in plastic and put in the fridge. They will last 1-2 weeks.⁠⠀
Mint is technically a hard herb because of its stem, however, I’ve found I can store either way mentioned above and it still does well.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-And, the best way to clean any herbs that you’re using is to get a bowl of cool water and dunk the herbs a couple of times so that any dirt sinks to the bottom. Refresh the bowl with clean water before moving on to another herb.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
