Wild Blueberry and Basil Compote
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat, and add the blueberries. Using the back of a spoon, crush some of the berries so they release their juice.

Add Dijon mustard and white wine, stir to combine.
Allow compote to reduce by a quarter, and then stir in the basil.
Finish with salt, pepper and butter.
