Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
24 strawberries, tops cut off
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons cherry or plain balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons red wine
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
A baking dish, about 9-inches square

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the melted butter into the baking dish (or melt it right in the dish). Use the tip of a sharp knife to scrape the insides of the vanilla bean into the pan. Place the strawberries (cut side down) in the pan. Sprinkle the berries with brown sugar and lay the vanilla pod over the berries. Bake until they are slumped and feel soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes, then remove the berries from the pan and pour the pan juices into a small skillet.
Add the vinegar and red wine to the skillet and heat the mixture to a simmer. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cold butter. When ready to serve, place 6 strawberries on each serving plate. Drizzle the warm sauce over and serve immediately.

Vanilla-Roasted Rhubarb and Strawberries image

Provided by Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 rhubarb stalks (about 1 pound), trimmed, cut on a sharp diagonal into 2-inch pieces
12 large strawberries (about 1/2 pound), hulled and halved
1/4 cup bourbon or water
1/4 cup sugar
1 4-inch piece of vanilla bean, split lengthwise
Greek yogurt, honey, chopped pistachios

Steps:

Combine rhubarb, strawberries, bourbon, and sugar in a medium bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. Cut bean into 4 pieces and add to bowl; stir mixture until sugar begins to dissolve.
Place four 16x12" sheets of parchment paper, or heavy-duty foil if grilling, on a work surface. Divide mixture evenly among sheets, arranging on one side of each sheet. Fold parchment over mixture and crimp edges tightly to form a sealed packet. DO AHEAD: Foil packets can be made 4 hours ahead; parchment packets should not be made ahead. Chill. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before continuing.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place packets on a small rimmed baking sheet. Alternatively, build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Bake or grill packets until rhubarb is tender but not mushy (carefully open 1 packet to check; steam will escape), 10-12 minutes for thinner rhubarb, 14-16 minutes for thicker. Carefully cut open packets. Transfer mixture to bowls. Top with yogurt, honey, and pistachios.
