This is a BBQ Brownie recipe served with Candied Orange Peel, Orange Syrup, Orange Segments & a Bourbon Whipped Cream
Brownie
Ingredients:
250g Unsalted Butter
200g Chocolate – Best to use a good quality dark chocolate with 70%+ Cocoa Solids but I have tried it with lots of combinations & all have turned out lovely.
80g Cacao Powder
65g Plain Flour Sifted
1tsp Baking Powder
350g Icing Sugar
4 Large Free Range Eggs
optional:
150g Dried Fruit (raisins, sour cherries, apricots etc)
150g Nuts (Macadamias etc)
zest of 1 Orange
Method:
In a Bain-Marie melt the butter & chocolate together – if using fruit or nuts add them once melted.
In a seprate bowl combine through a sieve the Cacao Powder, Flour, Icing Sugar & Baking Powder. Bring the melted Chocolate & Butter mixture off the heat & sieve the flour mixture into it mixing well. Once combined add the beaten egg to this & mix until you have a silky texture.
Pour this into a lined baking tin (rectangle approx 10″x 6″)
Bake in the BBQ Indirect at 350F for approx 35-40 mins
The mixture should be set but a skewer should not come out clean! You want this to be a gooey texture brownie.
Bring out & leave on a wire rack for 15-20mins

Ingredients:
Orange Peel cut into strips
4 cups sugar
3 cups water
