Rhubarb Beignet Bites With Strawberry Sauce

• 1 1/2 cups diced rhubarb
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• vegetable oil for frying
• 1 cup frozen strawberries, chopped

1. Place rhubarb, white sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until rhubarb is tender, about 5 minutes. Strain rhubarb, reserving sugar syrup.
2. Combine buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in a bowl. Stir in cooked rhubarb.
3. Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk and rhubarb mixture until batter is thick and smooth.
4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Spoon batter into a resealable plastic bag; snip a large hole in one corner. Working in batches, squeeze 1-inch lengths of batter into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
6. Stir strawberries into reserved sugar syrup to make sauce. Serve sauce alongside beignets.
