Sabayon Of Muscat De Beaumes De Venise With Fresh Berries Food

BERRY SABAYON GRATINEE

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds with the back side of a pairing knife. Add vanilla bean seeds to the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine. Add wine, a little at a time, and whisk to combine. Add a pinch of salt and whisk again.
• Set bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk vigorously and constantly until the sauce is thick and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Place 1/2 cup berries in the bottom of 6 shallow individual gratin dishes or ovenproof bowls. Spoon an even amount of the sabayon over each dish. Sprinkle the remaining berries evenly over the dishes. Place the dishes on a sheet pan and place on the top shelf of the oven under the broiler. Broil until the sabayon is golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

SABAYON

Steps:

• Pour a few inches of water into a pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low to keep water at a simmer. Combine egg yolks, water, Marsala, and sugar in a large heat-proof bowl and set above the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly with a balloon whisk, until sugar is dissolved and mixture starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• Continue cooking and whisking until sabayon is the texture of mousse and holds its shape, 15 to 20 minutes. Lift bowl occasionally to let steam escape and keep eggs from overcooking. Serve immediately.

CHAMPAGNE SABAYON ON TOP OF MILK CHOCOLATE SAUCE AND FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• To make the Champagne sabayon, put the egg yolks, sugar, and Champagne in a medium stainless steel bowl. Whisk over barely simmering water (145 degrees F) until mixture begins to thicken. When it has tripled in volume, and falls in ribbons into the bowl, remove it from the water. Place the bowl on a cool surface and continue to whisk until the sabayon has cooled slightly.
• While the sabayon is cooling, heat the milk chocolate sauce in a small sauce pot over low heat. Slowly incorporate the heavy cream until smooth. Mix the chocolate with the fresh berries and pour into a martini glass. Serve the sabayon over the chocolate/berry mixture and garnish with sugar cookies.

MELON TART WITH MUSCAT DE BEAUMES-DE-VENISE

Steps:

• Arrange melon in a shallow dish. In a bowl combine Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise and 5 tablespoons of the sugar. Pour over melon and chill for 24 hours. Drain.
• Prepare the pastry: In a bowl combine flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar with salt. Add butter and blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. In another bowl whisk together the egg and milk. Add flour mixture and stir until mixture forms a soft dough. Chill, covered, 2 hours.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the dough into a 1/8-inch thick round on a floured surface. Place the dough onto a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Prick the pastry shell all over with a fork and cover with a sheet of buttered wax paper. Fill the shell with dried beans, and place in the pre-heated oven for 8 minutes. Remove the beans, prick again with a fork, and bake for another 10 minutes or so, or until the tart is golden brown. Remove and let cool.
• Prepare the apricot glaze: In a small, heavy saucepan, combing the apricot jam with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Strain.
• To assemble: Brush a thin layer of the hot apricot glaze over the bottom of the tart shell. Then place a thin layer of pastry cream (you might have a bit left over). Arrange the melon slices over the pastry cream. Warm the remaining apricot glaze and brush over the melon slices. Let the tart rest for at least 15 minutes.
• Garnish the center of the tart with mint leaves. Include a mint leaf with each serving. If desired, serve a chilled glass of the melon marinade with the tart.
