Ingredients:


2 cups walnut pieces -- chopped 1/8 inch pieces

1/2 cup hazelnuts -- finely chopped

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

3 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons nocino (Italian walnut liqueur)

8 large egg yolks

2 medium juice and zest of 2 lemons

1/4 cup sugar
 

Preparation / Directions:


Preheat oven to 375F. In a mixing bowl, stir together walnuts, hazelnuts, sugar, and bread crumbs until well mixed. Add olive oil, eggs, milk, baking powder, and Nocino and stir to form a thick and chunky puree. Pour into a buttered and sugared 8-inch quiche pan and bake until firm but moist, 35 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, place yolks, juice, zest, and sugar into a copper bowl and whisk until frothy and light, 1 minute. Place over pan with boiling water and cook carefully, whisking furiously, until as firm as whipped cream, and place in refrigerator. Remove cake and serve warm, with cool sabayon. Comments: A copper bowl is essential for a good sabayon. Source: MEDITERRANEAN MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # ME-1A18)
