750g rhubarb stalks

100g caster sugar

zest and juice of orange

2tbsps water

2 pieces of stem ginger in syrup, finely chopped

Bring to the boil and then simmer for 5 - 7 minutes until the rhubarb is soft but still retains its shape. Leave to cool and serve layered in a glass with Greek yoghurt and granola.Ìý

Kim's Tzatziki

Kim's Tzatziki

Ìý

1 med cucumber

250g Greek Yoghurt

15g chopped dill

2 large garlic cloves, crushed

2tbsps lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Ìý

Peel and coarsely grate the cucumber and, because it has such a high water content, you really do need to drain off as much liquid as possible or your tzatziki will be too watery. ÌýThe best way to do this is to put it in a colander with a sprinkling of salt, cover it with a plate or bowl to weight it down and leave it for an hour or so in the fridge to drain.

Put the strained cucumber in a bowl and add the garlic, yoghurt, dill and lemon juice, then mix together and season to taste. At this point you should chill the tzatziki for at least an hour to let the flavours fully develop, but if you can resist the temptation to dip every time you open the fridge door, overnight would be ideal.

You can serve this as a dip with pitta or crudités and it also make a great accompaniment to lamb burgers or kebabs from the barbecue.ÌýÌýÌý
