ROSE-POACHED RHUBARB
Serve this dessert within an hour after it cools. You can poach the rhubarb before dinner, and let it stand while you eat. Plain yogurt and vanilla ice cream pair especially well with this subtly spiced dish, but experiment and try it with your favorite flavors.

Steps:
- Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a medium saucepan, and add pod to pan. Add sugar, breaking up clumps of vanilla seeds with your fingertips.
- Add wine, cinnamon, and star anise. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add rhubarb, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and cover. Let stand until rhubarb is soft and mixture has cooled, about 2 hours. Discard vanilla pod, cinnamon, and star anise. Divide among dishes, and serve with yogurt or ice cream.
POACHED RHUBARB
I begin many of my rhubarb recipes by briefly poaching thick slices in a sugar syrup with the seeds and pod of a vanilla bean. (Don't be alarmed by the amount of sugar; it's mostly drained off.) It's a method I learned from the pastry chef Jacquy Pfeiffer. Once poached, the rhubarb has many uses, both sweet and savory. And the pink vanilla-specked syrup is delicious over ice cream or strawberries, or stirred into yogurt.

Steps:
- Combine 1 1/4 cups water and the sugar in medium saucepan. Add vanilla seeds and pod. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stir until sugar dissolves and add rhubarb.
- Reduce heat to low and gently simmer rhubarb for 5 minutes, or until it can be easily pierced with the tip of a knife but remains intact. Do not overcook, or else rhubarb will fall apart.
- Strain rhubarb over a bowl. Store syrup and poached rhubarb separately.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Rinse the rhubarb and shake off the excess water. Trim the ends and cut the rhubarb into little finger-sized pieces. Put the rhubarb in a shallow dish or baking sheet with sides, tip the sugar over, toss together, then shuffle the rhubarb so it's in a single layer.
- Cover with foil and roast for 15 mins. Remove the foil. The sugar should have dissolved, so give everything a little shake and roast for another 5 mins or until tender and the juices are syrupy. Test with a sharp knife; the rhubarb should feel tender, not mushy, and still have kept its shape.
