Rhubarb Compote:
3-4 sticks rhubarb-sliced

Method
- Line a large Swiss roll tray (13 x 9 ½ inches) with parchment paper ensuring that both the base and the sides are covered.
- Put the egg whites into a large, spotlessly clean, mixing bowl and beat rapidly until the mixture forms stiff peaks. You can use an electric hand whisk or a food mixer for this process. When the mixture has formed the peaks add in the sugar gradually, whisking thoroughly between each addition. When the correct consistency is achieved, the mixture should be glossy and stiff.
