Instructions

  1. Combine brown sugar, raisins, vinegar, ginger, capers, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a medium skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add rhubarb to skillet and stir to coat. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until rhubarb is tender and liquid is syrupy, about 15 minutes. Serve compote warm or at room temperature.

  3. DO AHEAD: Compote can be made 5 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat slightly, if desired, before serving.

Why this Gingery Rhubarb Compote works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Gingery Rhubarb Compote that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
