Method

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.
Line a roasting tin with nonstick baking paper. For the custard, put the milk, vanilla pod and seeds into a pan set over a low heat. Bring to a simmer, and then remove from the heat. Set aside for 10 mins to allow the flavours to infuse, and then discard the vanilla pod.
Meanwhile, arrange the rhubarb in the prepared tin. Scatter over the sugar, most of the orange zest (reserving a teaspoon for serving) and the orange juice. Roast for 10-15 mins, until the rhubarb is tender, but holds its shape.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar. Gradually pour in the warm milk mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until combined.
Return the mixture to the pan over a medium heat. Cook for 6-8 mins, stirring constantly, until the custard has thickened. Transfer to a serving jug.
