Roasted rhubarb and ginger clafoutis
Put a spin on this traditional French cherry dessert by using rhubarb. It's great for the cooling weather, but also very delicate and quite fresh.

8 finger-thick rhubarb stalks, cut into 8cm lengths
4cm piece young ginger, peeled and sliced
80g castor sugar
icing sugar, to dust
ice-cream or cream, to serve
Batter
100g castor sugar60g almond meal
10g plain flour
1 pinch sea salt
250ml cream
2 eggs
3 egg yolks

2. Add the rhubarb, ginger and sugar to a ceramic baking dish and toss through. Set aside for 20 minutes.
3. Bake the rhubarb for 10 minutes and rest for 10 minutes.
4. For the batter, add the sugar, almond meal, flour and salt to a food processor and blend for one minute. Add the cream, eggs and egg yolks and process until smooth.
5. Rub the dishes with butter and line with castor sugar. Tap the dishes lightly to shake off any excess sugar.
