# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 pounds rhubarb, chopped
02 - 1 large orange, zested and juiced
03 - 1 inch piece ginger, grated

→ Seasonings & Spices

04 - ½ lemon, juiced
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - 1 cinnamon stick

→ Garnish & Toppings

07 - Plain Yogurt (optional)
08 - Vanilla ice cream (optional)

→ Optional Extras

09 - Fresh berries
10 - Pinch of cardamom or star anise
11 - Honey

# Instructions:

01 - Wash and chop the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces. Try to make them even, but it's not a science.
02 - Combine rhubarb, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
03 - Reduce heat to low, add cinnamon stick, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
04 - Use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend for a smoother consistency. I usually do about half.
05 - Taste and add more lemon juice if needed. A little goes a long way!
06 - Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and stir in vanilla extract. Serve warm or cold.

# Notes:

01 - Don't overcook the rhubarb; it'll turn mushy!
02 - Store leftover stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
03 - Lime juice can be substituted for lemon juice.
04 - Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

# Equipment Needed:
