directions

Step 1

In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, strawberries, rhubarb and 3 tablespoons of the sugar and heat over medium-high heat. Let mixture simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until thickened and fruit has broken down, like a thick jam. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. When cool, strain off any extra liquid. (Can be prepared in advance.)

Step 2

In a small bowl, add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and vanilla. Every so often, while preparing ingredients, stir with a small fork to combine. The sugar with absorb the vanilla.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the rhubarb-strawberry compote with the cream cheese, sour cream, 1 egg, lemon zest and pistachios.

Step 5

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg and add 1 tablespoon of water.

Step 6

Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Working quickly with the dough, unfold the sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares. Place a scant 1/4 cup filling inside each square and wet the outer edges with egg wash. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and seal with a fork. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with the vanilla sugar.

Step 7

Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish top with powdered sugar and sliced strawberries.
