Rhubarb and butter ice cream

Bring the rhubarb, sugar and Champagne to the boil in a pan, then simmer until the rhubarb is tender. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool a little. When the liquid has cooled to 84 °C, add the egg yolks and butter and blend very finely with a blender. Allow the mixture to cool down. Using an ice cream maker, churn the mixture into ice cream and place in the freezer. Take the ice cream out of the freezer about 30 minutes before serving.

Rhubarb juice

Juice the stalks of rhubarb. Transfer the juice to a pan. Gently simmer the juice for about 5 minutes. Add Champagne and honey to taste as desired. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

Rhubarb compote

Put the rhubarb in a pan together with the vanilla pod. Add the lemon juice, sugar and rhubarb juice and reduce to a compote over a low heat for about 30 minutes.

Steamed rhubarb

Preheat the cooking space to 90 °C using the steam mode. Toss the rhubarb with the honey in an ovenproof dish. Put the dish on a wire shelf in the preheated cooking space and steam for about 10 minutes. Take the dish out of the cooking space and allow to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before covering and refrigerating.

Rhubarb rolls

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the rhubarb into long, thin ribbons. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Just before serving, roll up into rolls.

Quark schmarren (fluffy shredded pancakes)

Preheat the cooking space to 180 °C using the top/bottom heat mode. Whisk the quark, half the sugar, the cream and egg yolks together in a bowl. Fold in the lemon juice and flour along with the vanilla seeds set aside earlier. Whisk the egg whites together with the rest of the sugar until stiff, then gently fold into the mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, place on a wire shelf in the preheated cooking space and bake for about 30 minutes. Take out and dust with icing sugar.

For serving

Place a dollop of compote on each plate, next to it arrange the steamed rhubarb chunks and the rhubarb rolls. Put a scoop of ice cream on top of the compote, pour a little rhubarb juice onto the plate, garnish with a few drops of olive oil and scatter over the edible flowers and herbs. Shred the pancakes into bite-size pieces and serve with the rhubarb dessert.
