I saw this recipe for brownies made with olive oil and I had to give it a try. I ate at a gourmet restaurant once where the dessert was chocolate with olive oil, sea salt, and bread crumbs, and the combination worked really well. This is a savoury brownie so it’s not what you want if you are looking for luscious chocolate sweetness, but it is a tasty variation to have in your arsenal. I did not follow the recipe exactly, so here is my version. It got great reviews from everyone who tried it.
Ingredients:
½ cup water
120 g dark chocolate
¾ cup olive oil, plus more to grease the pan
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1½ cup flour
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp agave
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
Instructions:
1. Boil the water. Melt the chocolate over low heat in the water.
2. Mix in the oil, cocoa powder, sugar, flour, salt, vanilla, and agave.
3. Beat in the eggs and yolks.
4. Grease a pan and then pour the batter in.
5. Bake at 180 C for 25 minutes.
