My favorite spring recipe: Vanilla-Poached Rhubarb (from Martha Stewart's Dinner at Home)
INGREDIENTS FOR RHUBARB 1 c dry white wine 1/3 c water 1/3 c sugar 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped 1/2 lb rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
FOR CREAM 1/2 c heavy cream 2 tbsp sugar 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped 4 oz fromage blanc (1/2 cup)
Poach rhubarb: bring the wine, water, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Continue boiling 6 minutes, then add the rhubarb and reduce heat to a simmer; cook until rhubarb is just turning tender, about 2 minutes, tilting the pan occasionally to coat the pieces with the poaching liquid. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.
Whip cream: with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whisk the cream, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds until medium-stiff peaks form. Add cheese, and beat 1 minute more, or until mixture is still fluffy but will hold its shape. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes, just until chilled.
To serve: spoon the cream mixture into small serving dishes. Using a slotted spoon, top each with some rhubarb, then drizzle with syrup.
