A delicious sweet and sour dessert: Rhubarb meringue. The sour rhubarb is stewed in honey and grape juice so that it becomes deliciously sweet and sour. The foam is wonderfully light and sweet, with a caramelized top layer.
Rhubarb
Rhubarb can be prepared in various ways. Most of the time it is cooked with sugar and butter. If you peel it before cooking, you get a green rhubarb compote. When you add the peel the butter becomes pretty red. Rhubarb butter is a delicious side dish for your dinner.
You can also make glazed rhubarb with honey as an ingredient to your couscous.
And did you know that rhubarb with salt (uncooked) is a snack in Kurdistan?
I myself find rhubarb compote delicious as a dessert. And the recipe for this dessert is flavorful. Sour and sweet rhubarb compote covered with crunchy sweet meringue. Truly delicious.
Top Tips
- By adding a bit of vinegar the egg whites will stiffen better (and you won't taste it).
- In this recipe, you use confectioner's sugar in the foam. Would you use normal sugar you could get a crunchy foam.
- By adding grape juice to stew the rhubarb, you need fewer sweeteners. And it adds a bit of a fruity flavor.
- use a fat-free bowl and hooks when you beat the egg whites. Otherwise, it won't stiffen that well. You can easily obtain that by washing your bowl and whisk in hot water with some detergent and rinse it thoroughly afterward
