French toast with springtime rhubarb compote

Spring has sprung! And so has the rhubarb in our community garden. FINALLY! This year I don’t want to miss the relatively short harvest time. With good care and suitable conditions, the season can start as early as the end of April. Traditionally it ends on the day of St. John, June 24th.

There are two main reasons for this:

• Summer-picked stems have a higher concentration of toxic oxalic acid.
• The growth spurt at the end of June is used exclusively to regenerate a rhubarb plant

So let’s enjoy these wonderful vegetables as often and in as many different ways as possible. Here is a recipe that reminds me of my childhood: French Toast. This is definitely a healthier version than I used to eat (due to the absence of refined sugar)
