This compote uses frozen fruit, which is as nutritious as fresh and readily available in winter. The honeyed yogurt offers a sweet balance for the tangy compote, which can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to one week. While Greek yogurt offers a thicker base for the topping, plain low-fat yogurt can be substituted, if desired. Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
1 (16-ounce) package frozen sliced rhubarb, thawed |
1 (12-ounce) package frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed and undrained |
3/4 cup medium stone-ground cornmeal (such as bob's red mill) |
1 cup boiling water |
cooking spray |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
4.5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 cup) |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium baking powder (such as rumford) |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt |
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk |
3/4 cup plain fat-free greek yogurt |
2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese |
2 tablespoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
Directions:
1. To prepare compote, combine first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 25 minutes or until rhubarb is tender and mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and keep warm.
2. To prepare waffles, combine cornmeal and 1 cup boiling water in a large bowl. Let stand 20 minutes or until cooled to room temperature.
3. Coat a waffle iron with cooking spray; preheat.
4. Add eggs to cornmeal mixture; stir with a whisk to combine. Stir in butter, 2 teaspoons rind, and juice. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (through baking soda) in a bowl; stir to combine. Add flour mixture to cornmeal mixture. Combine low-fat yogurt and milk in a bowl; stir with a whisk until smooth. Add yogurt mixture to cornmeal mixture, stirring just until combined.
5. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter per 4-inch waffle onto hot waffle iron, spreading batter to edges. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until done; repeat procedure with remaining batter.
6. To prepare topping, combine Greek yogurt and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Serve waffles with warm compote and yogurt topping.
