this weekend is a crazy one – friends for supper tonight and more (but different) friends for lunch tomorrow. in order to make life simple i’ve decided to have completely different menus for both meals and have chosen to do three courses for each. silly, silly me.
still, it means i have had a very lovely day in the kitchen and have made all sorts of things. first to be completed was this pedro ximenez “zabaglione.” the px is completely inauthentic, being spanish rather than italian but i am on a mission to use up the bottle of px which we opened last week and which is too sweet and raisiny on its own for me. in this recipe it is “balanced” with whisky and brandy!
the recipe is an angela hartnett one which i chose because it requires the zabaglione to be made in advance and refrigerated rather than whipped up at the end of your meal. hopefully it’ll be lovely – the bowl-licking i did after making makes me think it will be.
