Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

Toast 200 g pecan nuts: spread them out on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 5 minutes.

Set aside, and leave the oven on.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Put 300 g dark chocolate et 300 g butter into a bowl.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Melt over a bain-marieor in the microwave on low power.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Put 200 g egg and 240 g brown sugar into a bowl and mix well.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Add the egg and sugar mixture to the chocolate.

Beat together by hand until thoroughly mixed.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Add 200 g flour, then the toasted pecan nuts.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Sit an 8-inch (20 cm) square tin, mould or ring on a sheet of cooking parchment, laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Pour in the mixture.

Stage 9 - 3 min.

Bake for 20-30 minutes, checking the cooking frequently. Brownies should stay soft, so it is important not to overcook.

Stage 10 - 3 min.

Turn out when cold and cut in portions, if you wish.

Stage 11

You can serve brownies with real custard (crème anglaise) a little whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or something more adventurous, like fresh mint ice-cream.

Remarks

If you don't have pecan nuts, walnuts will work just fine.

For an extra-delicious brownie, you can caramelize the pecan nuts (Jeremy's idea).

For a brownie with a more 'cereal' texture, add 50g rolled oats to the mixture. If possible, toast these like the nuts.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Home-made terrine of foie gras

Preparing your own home-made foie gras from raw is immensively satisfying: good quality liver and a simply amazing flavour – much better than anything you can buy. This recipe is a bit tricky, but quite within everyone's grasp, as long as you follow the 3 most delicate stages carefully. These are, in order: de-veining the liver, seasoning and cooking. As usual, I have explained every stage of the recipe in full, with photos to help you.

How to prepare tomatoes

Yes, I know you will say to me: why peel tomatoes? The answer is very simple: it's much better, gives a better texture, softer in the mouth. The skin is tough, adds nothing to the taste (and you will have noticed that commercial tomatoes have practically no taste), and finally it's there (on/under the skin) that the awful chemical products that the fruit receive during growth, are concentrated (treatments, pesticides, etc...).
