Panna Cotta with Sour Cream
-
In a saucepan, bring to a boil the 35% cream and sugar.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the previously rehydrated leaf of gelatin in cold water.
-
Drop the sour cream in a bowl and pour the hot cream overtop; whisk until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
-
Pour in small glasses or ramekins and let set in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
Rhubarb Compote with Ginger
-
Slice the rhubarb in 1 to 2 cm (½ to ¾ inch) pieces.
-
Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan.
-
Stir thoroughly and allow to macerate for about 30 minutes.
-
Place the pan over medium heat and cook until rhubarb is tender. It is important to frequently stir during cooking.
-
Stop the cooking before the rhubarb turns into purée to keep good chunks.
-
Leave the rhubarb in the saucepan over turned off heat for a few minutes; it will continue to cook slowly.
-
With a strainer, drain the compote to collect the syrup.
-
Pour the syrup in the saucepan and reduce by two thirds.
-
Then put the syrup back with the compote and let cool.
-
Letting the syrup reduce alone in the pan allows to keep the chunks in the compote. Top each panna cotta with a good spoonful of compote and serve.
Note
The compote recipe gives you more than needed for the 2 panna cotta. You can keep the remaining compote in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. It will match your favorite yogourt perfectly!
