'Rhubarb-Coconut Heaven' for breakfast

It's rhubarb season, so I'll be spoiling you with two breakfast recipes in which this vegetable perfectly fits. This week a layered treat, next week poptarts. Rhubarb is one of those ingredients you'll most likely find in a crumble or a pie. But you can do way more with it than just that. Since it's so versatile, you can even use it to make ice-cream or lemonade. Search for rhubarb recipes on Pinterest, you'll find loads of 'em.
I discovered that the rather sour flavour of rhubarb matched with the sweet flavour of coconut way better that I had expected. So I used Provamel's new Soya Coconut to create this layered treat. The new Soya Coconut also works great to create dressings, smoothies and morning 'yoghurt' bowls. Hope you enjoy this one. Let me know if you've tried it!

Alpro Coconut Curry

New in your local store is Alpro's Coconut Cuisine. A very versatile product that can be used both for cooking and for baking. I used this one to make one of my favourite dishes, coconut curry. I made this very quickly since I was so eager to try Coconut Cuisine but it ended up being the best quick dish I made so far. I used a pre-made wok mix from the store, red curry paste, extra spices and basmati rice. The Coconut Cuisine leaves a coconut flavour lingering in the back, but not as strong as when you use coconut milk or coconut cream.






This Coconut Cuisine would also work well with soups or in your coffee. I will try and bake with it, so I'll keep you up to date on that.

Will you try this Coconut Cuisine?
