Rhubarb compote and Granola

Cooking with Jamie

From "Jamie at Home" by Jamie Oliver
p62, p63 "Rhubarb compote from 'Speedy rhubarb fool' "

From "Jamie's Food Revolution"
p316, p317 "Granola"

咳がなかなか落ち着かず、前にブログに載せたはちみつに漬けたレモンスライスたっぷりをグリークヨーグルトと食べるのが毎日の日課となっていました。
でも、町のスーパーではオーガニックのレモンが売っていなくて、皮ごともりもり食べられるレモンが切れてしまった。。。 と、その時にお店で目に入ったのはルバーブ。
ルバーブ、酸っぱくて好きです。いちごや生姜と一緒に煮てくたっとしたものをバニラアイスクリームやヨーグルトにのせるのが好き。
I have been eating lemon slices in honey with Greek yogurt every day but our organic lemons are all gone now. I went to the town supermarket but they didn't have organic ones there. (I eat whole lemons so I thought organic ones were better.) I was a bit disappointed but instead of organic lemons, I found rhubarb. :) Rhubarb is one of the food I knew and started liking it after I moved to Canada.

なので、今回はルバーブを数本買ってコンポートを作ることに。
”Jamie at Home"は、私も趣味でする版画を使ったようなデザインの本になっていて、写真も美しく、色合いもいい感じで、季節によっての野菜の育て方等も載っていて、とても見るのが好きです。デザインとしては彼の本の中で一番好きな本。
でも、なかなか食材がうちにあるものと合わず、本に載っているものを簡単に作られないでいました。
I like Jamie's book, "Jamie at Home", because the design is different from his other books and it is more colourful and country-style look, I love the fonts and pictures that are look like block printed.
It also shows how to grow the ingredients at your garden, I like to see/read the book very much.
But we usually don't have enough ingredients for any dishes in the book and I haven't used it as a cooking recipe book, which is a bit sad. I remembered that it had "rhubarb" pages for Spring garden, so I decided to make compote from the pages.


ルバーブのページから、コンポートの部分だけ見てルバーブとオレンジのコンポートを作りました。
(と言っても煮るだけの超簡単なもの。レシピではオレンジはジュースのみだったけれど、もったいないので私は房の皮もそのまま。)
The recipe said "orange juice" but I wanted to cook with orange itself so I just cut some pieces and cooked with rhubarb.(I followed ingredients numbers and sizes.)

ヨーグルトにのせて食べてみたら、とっても美味しい。ルバーブの酸味とオレンジの甘い香りがとても合います。色もきれいで嬉しくなるデザート。
I ate it with Greek yogurt and it was delicious. I liked the orange's sweetness and rhubarb's sourness. I also love the colours!

でも、これにもう少し違う歯ごたえのものがあったらもっと楽しく食べられるんじゃないかと思って、シリアルを入れてみたけれど、物足りない。
前にお友達がお家でグラノラを作っていると聞いたことがあって、私もやってみようと探してみたら、レシピ、ありました。
I missed something, something has more texture. I remembered that one of my friends said that she made granola for breakfast and I thought I should try it too. I found a recipe for granola from another Jamie book,"Jamie's Food Revolution".

オーツをベースに、家にあるナッツ類、たね類、乾燥ココナツ、シナモンを混ぜ入れて、ハチミツをかけて混ぜてオーブンで焼く、そしてドライフルーツを混ぜ合わせる。そんなに簡単にグラノラってできるのね~!と作りながら感動。
It was very simple and I was quite impressed. You can add any nuts, seeds, and dried fruits as you like or whatever you have. I had walnuts, pecan, and almond, sunflower seeds, apricots and raisins,  and oats and shredded coconuts(it was nice because we had lots of leftover shredded coconuts for gingerbread house that we made last Christmas.
Plus honey and cinnamon and bake in the oven! Very nice!

うちにあったのは、くるみ、ピーカン、アーモンド、ひまわりの種、アプリコットとレーズン。これらを加えて作りました。クリスマスの頃にいつもジンジャーブレッドハウス作りで使う雪の代わりのココナツもたくさん消費できて嬉しいところ。
I didn't know that we could make granola so easily and the homemade one was so nice. I love it.
It is so nice that I know what I am putting in to make it, I can control mount of sugar(honey or maple syrup), I think eating homemade granola is very healthy. It is so yummy that I need to be careful not eating too much though!

これは、おいしい。
早速ヨーグルトとコンポートと一緒に朝食に食べたら、とっても美味しかったです。
週の始めに作っておけばその週毎日朝食に食べれそうな量なので、そうしようと思うのです。
グラノラを家で作るなんて大変そうって思ってやったこともなかったけれど、これだと市販のと違って口に残る甘さがないし、自分で何を入れているのか良くわかるし、気分や家にあるものによって中身を変えられるので気に入りました。おすすめです!
I am going to recommend to Col and Juliett for their breakfast too.
Eating it with some yogurt and the rhubarb comport was really, really good!

Soon you should be able to get rhubarb free...so many people have it in their yard and don't use it. Our patch is about 6 inches high....so soon I will be looking for new recipes...I like the idea of orange mixed with it...I usually combine it with strawberries.
Your granola looks delicious!
Your food blog inspires me and makes me hungry.

Hi,SJB.
How are you? I hope you are having a gorgeous weekend.

We will be in town all day today because of Juliett in the play, she is very excited (we are too). We might go to hike tomorrow.

The granola was really good and Col and Juliett liked it too, so I am sure I will make it often.

We will talk to you very soon, have a wonderful weekend!
