Marsala Zabaglione With Strawberries Food

ZABAGLIONE WITH BERRIES

Steps:

• Toss 1 quart sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl; let macerate 10 minutes. Put 5 egg yolks, 1 egg white, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon marsala wine, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and whisk vigorously over medium to medium-high heat until thick and creamy, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately pour over the berries and serve with biscotti.

CHEF JOHN'S ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Gently stir the strawberries and sugar together in a bowl. Cover and let sit at room temperature until juices release, about 1 hour.
• Divide fruit between 2 small, clear serving bowls or stemmed cocktail glasses.
• Place egg yolks, sugar, and marsala into metal mixing bowl. Set over burner on low heat. Hold rim of bowl with a potholder. Whisk until mixture forms loose peaks, 7 or 8 minutes. Mixture should feel warm to the touch.
• Spoon custard over the strawberries. Serve while custard is still warm.

MARSALA ZABAGLIONE WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Before hand, chill 4 serving cups (I like using cocktail glasses).
• Bring 2-3 inches of water in a medium saucepan to a steady simmer.
• In the meantime, take each chilled glass and dip the rim into a small bowl of tap water, and then onto a plate strewn with sugar (each glass will have a sugar rim!). Divide the strawberries evenly and out in cups.
• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a glass, heat resistant bowl until frothy.
• At this point the water should be simmering and emitting a continuous flow of steam. Place egg yolk mixture in glass bowl on top of simmering pan, creating a double boiler. Whisk continuously. Make sure the bowl and water do not touch and that the yolk does not cook. Whisk in the marsala wine a little at a time until mixture doubles or triples in volume over heat. This should take about 5 minutes of whisking (a good workout!). It is done when the consistency becomes a soft mousse. If you are having trouble or your arm gets tired, you can also use a hand held mixer. Immediately spoon the zabaglione over the strawberries and serve.

STRAWBERRIES WITH ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Divide the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of the Marsala between 2 goblets and let the strawberries macerate for 15 minutes. In a metal bowl whisk together the eggs and the sugar, set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and whisk the mixture until it begins to thicken. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon Marsala, continue to whisk the mixture until it is thick and foamy and registers 160°F. on a candy thermometer, and spoon the zabaglione over the strawberries.

SPICY ZABAGLIONE WITH STRAWBERRIES AND CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• For the zabaglione: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, wine, sugar, and cayenne pepper. Place the bowl over a pan of gently boiling water and whisk vigorously until thick and foamy, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
• For the chocolate sauce: Reduce the pan of water to a simmer. Place the chocolate chips and cream in a small bowl. Place the bowl over the pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Spoon the chocolate sauce into 4 small dessert bowls. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top. Spoon the zabaglione on top of the strawberries and sprinkle with the pistachio nuts, if using.

STRAWBERRIES WITH ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Divide strawberries among 6 stemmed glasses.
• Beat together yolks, sugar, and Marsala in a large metal bowl with a whisk or handheld electric mixer until combined, then put bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and continue to beat until thickened and tripled in volume, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Spoon over strawberries and serve immediately.
