STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine chopped strawberries and rhubarb in a saucepan. Add sugar and salt; stir to coat evenly. Let sit until fruit has released its juices, about 10 minutes.
• Bring fruit mixture to a light boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES WITH STRAWBERRY RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• For compote: In a medium sized skillet set over medium heat add all ingredients. Stir to combine and let simmer on the stove until the fruit starts to soften and release their juices. Let the mixture simmer down until fruit is soft and resembles jam. Keep warm while you prepare the crepes. For crepes: In a large bowl add all ingredients and whisk together until smooth. The mixture will be very thin. Lightly spray a 10-inch non-stick skillet with non-stick spray and set over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot add 1/4 cup batter into the pan and move the skillet to spread the batter to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 30-40 seconds until the bottom is lightly browned (you should see little bubbles appear on the top of the crepe) flip and cook on the other side for about 30 seconds until browned. Continue until all the batter has been used. Remembering to spray the skillet with non-stick spray when needed. For assembly: Fold crepes in half and then half again. Place 4 to a plate, top with desired amount of vanilla creme fraiche and strawberry rhubarb compote.

RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Place rhubarb pieces into a medium pot and sprinkle with sugar. Stir well to make sure rhubarb is completely covered with sugar. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes, stirring once, so natural juices will be released.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Turn down heat and simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Serve compote warm.
