Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote With Matzo Streusel Topping-Passover
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
This is a delicious and easy Pesach dessert from "Gourmet Magazine" (April 2004). If you can't find matzo cake meal, grind batches of regular matzo meal in a clean electric coffee/spice grinder until it has the consistency of flour. You could substitute other fruits (like berries) but be sure to reduce the sugar accordingly. It's excellent served cold!
