-----ALYCE MANTIA - KRBS41A-----
8 lg Navel oranges
2 Egg yolks
5 Basil sprigs
2 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 cup Basil leaves -- packed
1/4 cup Dry white wine

Using a vegetable peeler, remove a strip of zest from one of the oranges and
chop enough to measure 1/4 tsp. Using a knife, peel skin and pith from oranges
and cut in between the membranes to remove the sections. Using hands, lightly
crush the basil sprigs and toss in a large bowl with the orange sections.
Cover and chill 2-6 hours. Mince the 1/2 cup basil. In a medium bowl combine
the egg yolks, sugar, wine and reserved orange zest.
Place over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk until the zabaglione is
frothy, thick, and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced
basil. Drain the orange sections and remove basil sprigs. Divide among 3
dessert dishes and spoon a heaping tablespoon of zabaglione over each one.
