For The Strawberry Compote

1 pound (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered lengthwise

12 fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced

12 fresh Thai basil leaves, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon (12g) sugar

Zest of 1 lime (do not zest until called for in recipe step)

2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice from 1 to 2 limes

For Serving

1 recipe Aquafaba Cardamom Meringue Cookies

Steps

For the Strawberry Compote: In a medium mixing bowl, combine strawberries with mint, Thai basil, and sugar.

Using a zester, zest the peel of 1 lime directly over the strawberries (this will ensure volatile oils from the lime peel get into the strawberries and won't be lost on your cutting board).

Add lime juice to the strawberries, mix well, then let stand for at least 5 and up to 10 minutes.

For Serving: When ready to serve, crumble the meringues into bite-size pieces and divide among 4 serving bowls. Top each with the strawberry compote and serve immediately.
