  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   8      lg            Navel oranges
   2                    Egg yolks
   5                    Basil sprigs
   2      tb            Sugar
     1/2  c             Basil leaves -- packed
     1/4  c             Dry white wine

Using a vegetable peeler, remove a strip of zest from one of the
oranges and chop enough to measure 1/4 ts. 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 to 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 1 tb of
zabaglione over each one.
