Oranges Gratinéed With Zabaglione Recipes

ORANGE ZABAGLIONE

• Beat egg, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, vin santo, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water with a hand-held electric mixer at medium speed until slightly thickened and frothy, about 5 minutes (mixture will froth up and then subside a bit before thickening). Remove from heat.

CHILLED ZABAGLIONE WITH BERRIES

Steps:

• 1 At least 20 minutes before you are ready to make the zabaglione, place a large bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the refrigerator. Fill another large bowl with ice and water. 2 Prepare the zabaglione through step 3. As soon as the zabaglione is finished, remove it from the simmering water and set the bowl over the ice water. With a wire whisk, beat the zabaglione until it is cold, about 3 minutes. 3 Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the refrigerator. Pour the cream into the bowl and whip the cream at high speed until it begins to hold a soft shape, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioner's sugar and orange liqueur. Whip the cream until it holds a soft shape when the beaters are lifted, about 2 minutes more. With a flexible spatula, gently fold in the chilled zabaglione. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour until ready to serve. 4 Divide the berries among 6 serving dishes. Top with the chilled zabaglione cream and serve immediately.

ORANGES GRATINéED WITH ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• 1 Preheat the broiler. Arrange the orange slices in a flameproof baking dish, overlapping slightly. 2 Prepare the zabaglione: Fill a small saucepan or the bottom of a double boiler with 2 inches of water. Bring it to a simmer over low heat. In a bowl larger than the rim of the pan or the top of the double boiler, combine the egg, yolks, sugar, and Marsala. Beat with a hand-held electric beater until foamy. Place over the pan of simmering water. Beat until the mixture is pale-colored and holds a soft shape when the beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes. 3 Spread the zabaglione over the oranges. Put the dish under the broiler 1 to 2 minutes or until the zabaglione is browned in spots. Serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
