Stewed rhubarb is one of my absolute favourite things and it goes really well with star anise and ginger. You can use it in all sorts of desserts (it makes a particularly awesome crumble) but I like it best with some Greek yoghurt and maybe a little bit of toasted muesli.

Ingredients (makes about 2 cups):
1 bunch rhubarb, sliced into 2cm pieces
1/4 cup sugar
Juice and rind of 1 lemon
1/2 cup water
2cm piece of ginger, finely sliced
3 star anise

Method:

  • Place all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan over low heat
  • Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes until rhubarb is very soft. Remove star anise
  • Serve with Greek yoghurt and sprinkle over some toasted muesli if you like

The Perfect Breakfast: Homemade Toasted Muesli

muesliMuesli is one of the best breakfasts going around. Its got plenty of low GI carbohydrates and fibre thanks to the oats and dried fruit, plus protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds – everything you want in a super healthy breakfast.

But while muesli tastes great, there’s something about the crunchiness of toasted muesli which is even better. Unfortunately, commercially made toasted muesli is usually full of added sugar, fat and salt – not exactly the basis of a healthy breakfast. But this doesn’t mean you have to go back to the raw stuff.

Making your own toasted muesli is not only amazingly satisfying, it also means you can add in all your favourite ingredients and you know exactly what’s in it. Plus, you can make up a big batch to last you a few weeks – an activity guaranteed to leave you feeling virtuous on a Sunday afternoon. [Read More…]
