Gooseberry Saffron Compote

Tart gooseberries with sweet fragrant nutmeg swimming in honey-like saffron and floral rose water yoghurt; raw Gooseberry Saffron Compote.

Get your palette cleansed with a little ray of sunshine. And. glow.

This dish will tramp over any belief that vegan food isn’t easy to rustle up.

Make this:

• When you’re wanting a quick and easy brekkie as you rush out the door for work
• When you’ve got a new beau/belle on a staycation with you and want something that looks visual and tastes amazing in the morning as you open the blinds
• When you’ve got a dinner party organised and want something that’s easy to put together yet looks stunning and is the bees knees

Raw Gooseberry Compote with Saffron Yoghurt is a fusion Indian breakfast dish and was inspired having crossed sandy roads across the harsh terrains of rural Pakistan.

A compote is a simple fruit sauce, usually made with fresh or dried food.  Normally, it is gently simmered in its juices with sugar syrup. Unlike, jams and jellies, it tends to be eaten quicker. This raw dish – is merely the uncooked version – retaining its vitamin A and C, that Gooseberries have at their fullest and finest in their raw natural state.

Plus, that pinch of saffron, an aphrodisiac, might lead you back into bed. Who knows…

Raw Gooseberry Compote with Saffron Yoghurt is vegan, raw and paleo.
