Ingredients
454 g rhubarb, cut into 1-in. pieces
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
3 rosemary sprigs, divided
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup pistachio nuts, chopped
Pinch of salt
1 1⁄4 cups labneh
Olive oil (optional)
Flaked sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Position rack in centre of oven, then preheat to 350F.
Stir rhubarb with wine, 1⁄4 cup sugar, 1 rosemary sprig, vanilla bean and seeds in an 8 x 8-in. glass baking dish.
Roast until rhubarb is tender and juicy, 30 to 35 min. Set aside to cool, discarding rosemary and vanilla pod.
Melt butter in a pan over medium. Add pistachios, salt, remaining 2 tbsp sugar and leaves from 1 rosemary sprig. Cook, stirring, until sugar is caramelized, 3 to 4 min. Cool on a parchment-lined plate.
Spread labneh over a serving plate, then top with roasted rhubarb, sugared pistachios and leaves from remaining rosemary sprig. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with flaked sea salt, if desired.
