Author Notes

I wanted to make a rhubarb sauce to go with some Spanish Mackerel I had just bought. The recipe was too sweet, so I made some changes...
Sorry, I forgot to take a photo of the finished dish, so all you get to see is the compote! This is a savory sauce, to be served over fish, chicken breast, or duck. —Tashipluto
