Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Cut the rhubarb into 5cm pieces, halving thicker pieces lengthways, and put in a pan with the caster sugar and 1 tbsp cornflour; toss to coat.
  2. Zest and juice the orange, then add half the zest and all the juice to the pan with 4 tbsp water. Bring to a simmer; reduce the heat to very low and cook for 10 mins, swirling the pan occasionally, until the rhubarb is completely tender when pierced.
  3. Meanwhile, melt the baking spread in a pan with clear honey and a pinch of salt. Add the grains & seeds granola and stir to completely coat. Tip the rhubarb into a 22cm baking dish, then spoon over the granola, leaving a 1cm border of fruit around the edge. Scatter with pumpkin seeds, then bake for 15-20 mins until bubbling. Scatter with the remaining orange zest and serve with vanilla ice cream, if you like.
  • Tip: Replace 2 tbsp water with 2 tbsp orange liqueur.
