Humble Rhubarb

As I suffer badly from hayfever, nowadays, I am not a keen gardener, but one thing I love having in my backyard is the rhubarb plant.

I just love rhubarb ... serve it to me in any shape or form:):):)

Lately, because of my craze for Chia Puddings, I have been harvesting the rhubarb and making a compote out of it to dress up and add zest into my puddings. 

Chia Pudding with Rhubarb compote

Rhubarb is so easy to grow.  My friend GG gave me a cutting, I stuck it into the soil and forgot all about it.  Magical how nature take its course and before you know it, I have a healthy yummy bush of rhubarb.

Before the chia puddings came along, I used to cook up my rhubarb with apple, or with mixed fruits for my crumbles which is still a hot family favourite!

Since I am on this new "diet" because of my liver, I guess Chia puddings is the healthier option for me.


Another one of many Chia creations with Rhubarb

Rhubarb on its own is just "blah", so when I make it into a compote, I tend to add apple (optional) and a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon to bring the best out of it!!!

A dollop of this home made compote concoction is so yummilicious with classic EOSS yogurt.

WoW - after 70 days return

I will be flying off tomorrow (30/9) to Kuala Lumpur, so I have fed my rhubarb Osmocote and hope by the time I return in 70 days time, it will be flourishing for my first official 2015 summer harvest!
