Directions

  3. Hang the salad bowl in a pot filled with almost boiling water.
  4. Make sure the water doesn’t come into contact with the salad bowl. ≈ 3 min
  5. Keep the water at a simmer, and, while constantly whisking in the mixer, slowly pour the reduced wine over the yolks.
  6. Continue whipping until the sabayon is thick and airy. ≈ 4 min
  7. Divide the zabaglione evenly among 4 attractive glasses and serve immediately, with tangerine segments. ≈ 2 min
