COCONUT-LEMONGRASS TAPIOCA WITH CARAMELIZED CITRUS

Steps:

• In a small pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the tapioca pearls and simmer gently over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the tapioca is softened and almost all the way translucent, 12 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and allow the tapioca to steam and cook through completely, 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover it and refrigerate until ready to serve. You can prepare the tapioca up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
• Wash out the pot and pour in the coconut milk. Add the lemongrass, the ginger and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Bring up to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and zest the lime into the milk. Allow the infused milk to steep while you prepare the fruit and the caramel.
• Remove the tops and bottoms of the citrus by cutting the ends with a sharp knife so each fruit sits flat on your work surface. Cut the citrus peels off into strips, running your knife down the length of the fruit and carefully removing the white pith as you slice. Cut each fruit crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and remove any visible seeds.
• Make a caramel: Heat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium. Add the sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar melts and forms a light golden syrup, 5 to 7 minutes. Cook the syrup until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes more, lowering the heat slightly if necessary to avoid scorching. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons maple syrup, squeeze in the juice of the lime and add remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Remove from heat and carefully add the fruit, a couple of pieces at a time, swirling the pan to coat the pieces in syrup. The hot syrup may bubble and splatter, so be careful here. If the caramel forms hard clumps around the citrus slices, return the skillet to heat over medium-low and continue to cook, swirling the caramel around the citrus pieces, until any hard clumps dissolve, 2 minutes.
• Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the coconut milk into a medium bowl, pressing down on the aromatics in the sieve before discarding.
• To serve, scoop a few spoonfuls of the tapioca into shallow bowls. Ladle the infused coconut milk over the top, add several slices of citrus and spoon in some of the caramel glaze. Drizzle with some maple syrup and garnish with the crushed pistachio, if using.

LEMON CRUNCH CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush an 8-by-2-inch square cake pan with butter. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; brush parchment with butter and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir together milk and vanilla in another bowl. Beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar in a steady stream and beat, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in finely grated lemon zest and juice.
• Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with milk mixture; beat until just combined.
• In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold half into batter, then fold in remainder. Transfer to prepared pan, smoothing top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, julienned lemon zest, and sanding sugar.
• Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 30 minutes. Using parchment, carefully transfer to rack; let cool completely. Slice with a serrated knife, dollop with whipped cream, and serve.
