OOPS! I DROPPED THE LEMON TART<br />

Zabaglione:<br />

85 g egg yolk<br />

50 g sugar<br />

80 g lemon juice<br />

80 g Amalfi limoncello<br />

Prepare a pan of boiling water and a heatproof bowl<br />

the right size to sit over it without touching the water.<br />

Whisk the egg yolk and sugar in the bowl with the<br />

hand whisk, off the heat. When the sugar has dissolved<br />

well, set the bowl over the pan of boiling water<br />

and continue beating vigorously. As soon as the eggs<br />

are warm and before they start to thicken, add the<br />

lemon juice and limoncello gradually, pouring them<br />

very slowly, while continuing to whisk energetically.<br />

When it is well whisked and frothy, with a creamy<br />

texture, it is ready to be served.<br />

Lemon powder:<br />

1 lemon<br />

Wash the lemon, cut it into thin slices and remove<br />

the pips (pits). Put the slices in a dehydrator at 30°C<br />

(86°F) for 5 days. Process in a thermal mixer and pass<br />

the powder <strong>through</strong> a fine sieve.<br />

To serve:<br />

4 g candied lemon (rind and pulp)<br />

2 g candied bergamot<br />

1 g candied ginger<br />

1 g lemon powder<br />

1 g capers<br />

Arrange the ingredients on the plate. Splash the plate<br />

with the zabaglione and add a quenelle of lemongrass<br />

gelato in the center. Place the tart crust on top of the<br />

gelato, then gently crush it before serving.<br />
