Berry Sabayon Gratinee Food

TANGY SABAYON SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the egg yolks, sugar, and wine into a metal bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making a double boiler. Whisk the mixture constantly until it foams and then becomes creamy and doubles in size, about 5 minutes. Mixture should be uncomfortably warm to the touch, but not burning. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the sour cream.

BERRY GRATIN WITH CHAMPAGNE SABAYON

Steps:

• Turn the oven on to broil with the rack about 6 inches/15 cm from the heat.
• Arrange the berries in individual gratin dishes and set on a baking sheet.
• Put the wine, sugar and egg yolks in a roomy glass bowl. Whisk to mix. Set the bowl over a saucepan partly filled with hot, but not simmering, water. Don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the water beneath. Whisk until the mixture is frothy, pale and ribbony, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the saucepan. Whisk in the zest and keep whisking a minute or two to cool slightly. Spoon the sabayon over the berries and place under the broiler until the sabayon is bubbly and golden, a minute or two. Place the gratin dishes on plates and serve immediately.

WARM SABAYON WITH GLAZED PLUMS AND RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Stir the sugar and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the plums and cook until soft and coated with syrup, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the raspberries.
• 2. Meanwhile, make the sabayon: Put about 1 inch of water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• 3. In a heatproof bowl that can rest in the saucepan without touching the water, beat the egg yolks and sugar with a large whisk, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the wine and salt and beat until foamy. Set the bowl on the pan and continue whisking constantly, moving in a circular motion around the bowl, until the eggs can hold a thick ribbon, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and continue whisking to cool slightly. Serve the fruit warm in shallow bowls or small glasses with sabayon spooned on top.

LEMON SABAYON WITH FRESH WILD BERRIES

Steps:

• Combine yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk until the color turns slightly pale. Set a pot of water over medium heat and place the mixing bowl over the pot of hot water to create a double-boiler. Continue to whisk over the medium-low heat until the mixture begins to thicken (the temperature should reach 160 degrees F) then add the lemon juice and zest. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens up again and then add the Marsala. Continue to cook while whisking until the mixture has thickened but is light and creamy, about 7 to 8 minutes, thinning with water as needed to achieve a soup-like texture. Serve in a bowl over fresh berries, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint.
