Rhubarb Souffle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

250 g rhubarb, cut into 2 . 5cm pieces
1 tablespoon orange juice
4 tablespoons caster sugar
1 teaspoon spices
100 g strawberries, sliced
3 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
25 g butter
icing sugar
4 tablespoons creme fraiche, to serve

Preparation

Place the rhubarb, orange juice, 3 Tbsp of the caster suage and the mixed spice in a pan and bring to the boil; simmer for 4 minutes until tender and thickened. Sir in the strawberries and set aside.
Beat the egg yolks and remaining caster sugar until pale, then stir in the orange zest. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg yolks carefully into the whites.
Pre heat the grill to medium. Melt the butter in a 23cm frying pan and spoon in the egg mixture so that it covers the base. Cook over a gentle heat for a few minutes until golden underneath and beginning to set, then grill for 1 minute until golden and puffy.
Slide the souffle onto a serving plate and spoon some of the fruit and sauce over half of it. Fold over and dust liberally with icing sugar. Serve in wedges with extra fruit and a spoonful of creme fraiche.
