Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup bourbon 
  • servings greek yogurt chopped
  • pound rhubarb trimmed
  • 0.5 pound strawberries hulled halved
  • 0.3 cup sugar 
  • piece vanilla pod split

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • grill
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Combine rhubarb, strawberries, bourbon, and sugar in a medium bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean.
  2. Cut bean into 4 pieces and add to bowl; stir mixture until sugar begins to dissolve.
  3. 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.
  4. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before continuing.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Transfer mixture to bowls. Top with yogurt, honey, and pistachios.
