Rhubarb Sabayon With Strawberries Recipes

RHUBARB SABAYON WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Bring rhubarb, sugar, and wine to a simmer in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then simmer, uncovered, until rhubarb is tender and begins to fall apart, about 5 minutes. Purée in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids).
• Divide strawberries among 6 stemmed glasses.
• Beat eggs in a large deep metal bowl with a handheld electric mixer at medium-high speed 1 minute, then add hot rhubarb purée in a stream, beating constantly. Put bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and beat until mixture is tripled in volume, very thick, and registers 160°F on thermometer, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and ladle sabayon over strawberries. Serve immediately.

CHARDONNAY SABAYON WITH FRESH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Place egg yolks, sugar and gelatin in a double boiler over heat. Whisk to melt gelatin and incorporate sugar and yolks being careful not to let the eggs cook. Add Chardonnay and whip until thickened and the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Cool mixture over ice, then fold in the whipped cream.
• Halve fresh strawberries and sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice. To serve, fill large wine glasses 2/3 full with strawberries and top with sabayon. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

STEWED STRAWBERRY AND RHUBARB

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, strawberries, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix well so that the sugar evenly coats the fruit. Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Add fruit and sugar mixture to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Spoon small portions of the stewed fruit into bowls. Drizzle each serving with a few tablespoons of half-and-half.

SABAYON WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preparing the strawberries:
• About an hour before serving the dessert, rinse the strawberries (stems on) and drain them on paper towels. Slice off the stems and halve or quarter the strawberries lengthwise, depending on size, into a bowl. Sprinkle over the sugar and the lemon juice; fold gently together to blend well. Taste a strawberry, add more sugar or lemon juice if needed, and set aside to macerate.
• Whipping the sabayon:
• If you want to serve the sabayon warm, make it at the last minute. If you want to glaze the sabayon under the broiler, or make it ahead of time to serve chilled, have ready a large bowl (larger than the one in which you whip the sauce) partly filled with ice cubes.
• Whisk to blend the yolks, Marsala, and sugar in the stainless-steel bowl. Rest the bowl in the saucepan over hot water. Whisk constantly for 4 to 5 minutes or more to cook the sauce, until it has the consistency of lightly whipped cream. Clear the bottom of the bowl constantly with the whisk so that the eggs do not scramble, and adjust the heat as needed. Taste the sauce - the sabayon should never get so hot that you can't stick your very clean finger in it - and whisk drops of lemon juice or more sugar if you want. When thick, foamy, and tripled in volume, remove from heat. It can be served hot as is, tepid, or cool.
• Serving:
• Spoon a portion of strawberries - 1/2 cup or more - into each goblet or glass, and top with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of warm or cool sabayon. Or put the sauce in the glass first, then the strawberries.
• Variation: Strawberries Glazed with Sabayon
• Cool the sabayon to room temperature. Whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form, and fold the cream into the sabayon with a rubber spatula.
• Turn on the broiler. Spread the strawberries in the baking dish in one layer (or in individual dishes). Spoon the sauce over the berries so they are completely covered and set the dish under the broiler, 5 to 6 inches from the heat. With the door open - so you can watch carefully - broil for a minute or two, turning the dish as needed to glaze evenly, until the top of the sabayon is nicely browned and slightly crusted. Serve right away.

STRAWBERRIES WITH BALSAMIC SABAYON

Steps:

• MAKE THE SABAYON: Set aside a big bowl of ice. In a small stainless-steel bowl, whisk the sugar into the egg yolks until thoroughly combined and lightened in color. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and continue whisking until mixture thickens. The mixture is cooked when it is light in color and trails off the whisk in ribbons. Do NOT overcook it. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the balsamic vinegar. Set the bowl over the bowl of ice and continue whisking the sabayon until it is completely cooled, 5 to 10 minutes. The sabayon will thicken as it cools. Very gently fold in the whipped cream and refrigerate the lightened sabayon for at least 2 hours before serving. (You could make it the night before, but it is best served the same day it's made.).
• Serve the sabayon draped over whole or sliced strawberries in a pretty glass dish with a garnish of crisp cookies, whole or crumbled, if you like.
