Lemon sabayon with grapefruit is a classic French dessert that combines the tartness of lemon with the sweetness of grapefruit to create a light and airy treat. The sabayon itself is made from egg yolks, sugar, and white wine, which are whisked together over a double boiler until they are thick and creamy. The grapefruit is added at the end, along with a touch of lemon zest, to create a vibrant and flavorful dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

Steps:
- Cut peel, including all white pith, from grapefruits with a sharp knife. Cut segments free from membranes and divide among 6 bowls.
- Whisk together whole eggs, yolks, and sugar in a metal bowl until combined well, 1 to 2 minutes. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add one third of lemon juice and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute. Add half of remaining lemon juice and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining lemon juice. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until thickened and an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F, 7 to 8 minutes more. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, until incorporated. Cool slightly.
- Spoon warm sabayon over grapefruit segments. Serve remaining sabayon on the side.

Steps:
- For the lobsters: Bring a very large pot of water to a boil and have an ice bath standing by.
- Separate the claws from the lobster bodies and carefully stuff each lobster tail with a spoon handle, inserting at the fan end (this will help keep the lobster tails straight as they cook). Add the lobsters and claws to the boiling water and cook for about 6 minutes. Shock in ice water until cool to the touch. Remove the spoons.
- Split each lobster in half. Remove the tomalley from the lobster bodies and add to a medium heatproof bowl. Set aside. Clean out the shells of the bodies, as we will be filling them later. Set aside the lobsters on a sheet tray.
- Remove the claw meat from the shell and chop. Mix the chopped claw meat with the parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, celery, capers and zest in a bowl. Set aside.
- For the breadcrumbs: Melt the butter in a small saucepan and cook until browned. Place the panko, parsley and lemon zest in a blender and slowly add the brown butter until smooth. Set aside.
- For the sabayon: Place the lemon juice, roe, yolks and a pinch of salt in the bowl with the tomalley and set over a small pot of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly and occasionally removing the bowl from the pot to prevent the mixture from getting too hot and curdling, until the mixture has thickened, about 4 minutes. (The whisk should leave a trail when pulled through the mixture.) Turn off the heat but leave the bowl in place to keep warm.
- For the couscous: Add the butter to a large, high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat and allow to brown. Add the Israeli couscous to the browned butter and stir to combine. Allow the couscous to toast, about 1 minute. Slowly start adding the lobster stock and cook until absorbed, continually adding lobster stock as needed (similar to risotto), until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the parsley, garlic, olive oil, walnuts, lemon zest and juice and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add the pesto to the couscous and stir to combine.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Filled the cleaned out lobster bodies with the lobster salad. Cover the lobster salad with the sabayon. Spread the breadcrumb mixture over the lobster tails. Broil the lobsters until the breadcrumbs and sabayon are browned, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the couscous onto a large, shallow serving platter. Top with the broiled lobsters.

Steps:
- Combine yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk until the color turns slightly pale. Set a pot of water over medium heat and place the mixing bowl over the pot of hot water to create a double-boiler. Continue to whisk over the medium-low heat until the mixture begins to thicken (the temperature should reach 160 degrees F) then add the lemon juice and zest. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens up again and then add the Marsala. Continue to cook while whisking until the mixture has thickened but is light and creamy, about 7 to 8 minutes, thinning with water as needed to achieve a soup-like texture. Serve in a bowl over fresh berries, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint.

LEMON SABAYON TART WITH PINE-NUT CRUST
Provided by Florence Fabricant
Categories dessert
Time 1h
Yield 10 - 12 servings
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Place the pine nuts with three tablespoons of sugar in a food processor and process until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the flour. Using your fingertips or pastry blender, work in four ounces of the butter, a scant two tablespoons of the beaten eggs and the vanilla to form a soft dough. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch straight-sided tart pan.
- Press the dough evenly into the pan and up its sides. Prick the bottom. Bake about 30 minutes, until the crust is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Select a large metal bowl that will fit partway into a saucepan. Put about one-and-a-half inches of water into the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Put the remaining beaten eggs, the egg yolks and the remaining sugar into the bowl and beat them using a whisk or a hand-held electric mixer. As the mixture begins to warm and thicken, add about a third of the lemon juice. Continue beating constantly, adding lemon juice as the mixture heats and thickens. The mixture should thicken to about the consistency of yogurt. Beat in the remaining butter. Take care that you do not overheat the mixture or the eggs will curdle.
- Remove the sabayon from the heat and pour it into the cooled tart shell. Preheat the broiler. Broil the tart, watching it carefully, until the top is golden brown.
- Refrigerate for one-and-a-half to two hours, or overnight, before serving.

Yield Makes 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Cut peel, including all white pith, from grapefruit with a sharp knife. Cut segments from membranes and divide segments among gratin dishes.
- Combine yolks, sugar, and wine in a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water and beat with a handheld mixer at medium-high speed until mixture registers 140°F on thermometer, about 4 minutes. Continue beating over heat until mixture has tripled in volume and forms a thick ribbon when mixer is lifted, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove bowl from heat.
- Spoon sabayon over grapefruit segments and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat just until sabayon is browned, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a richer sabayon, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by simmering water in a saucepan and placing a heatproof bowl over the saucepan.
- Make sure the bowl is not touching the water, or the sabayon will curdle.
- Whisk the sabayon constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Serve the sabayon immediately, or it will start to thicken and become grainy.
- For a citrusy twist, add a tablespoon of lemon or orange zest to the sabayon.
- For a sweeter sabayon, add a tablespoon of sugar or honey.
- For a more decadent sabayon, add a tablespoon of butter.
Conclusion:
Lemon sabayon with grapefruit is a light and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic lemon flavor or a more citrusy grapefruit flavor, this sabayon is sure to please.
