Serves 2
Ingredients
Rhubarb
300g rhubarb
50g sugar
2 star anise
vanilla, to taste
few knobs of butter
powdered sugar
Crumble
200g flour
125g butter
110g demarara sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Method
Preheat an oven to 200C. Wash the rhubarb and cut diagonally into 2 cm pieces.
Place on a roasting tray with the sugar, vanilla, star anise and butter. Roast for about 10-15 minutes until tender but not breaking up. Set aside to cool.
To make the crumble, place the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs. Line a baking tray with baking paper and sprinkle some of the crumble mixture in a ring mould to form discs. Repeat until the tray is full.
Bake them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool.
To assemble, spoon some of the roasted rhubarb on to a serving dish. Top with the crumble disc, dust with icing sugar and serve.

Ingredients
150 g black berries
125 g mascarpone
2 eggs
1 vanilla pod
30 g flaked almonds
1 small bunch mint

Preheat the oven to 220° C. In a bowl, mix together the 2 egg yolks with the mascarpone, seeds from the scraped vanilla pod and about 1-2 tablespoons sugar, or to your taste.
Grease an oven dish with butter. Scatter the base of the dish with the blackberries. Sprinkle the berries with sugar to taste, depending on how sour they are. Spoon over the mascarpone-egg mixture and scatter with the flaked almonds.
