Provided by Nonna Box

Categories     Sauce

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200 grams shelled walnuts
30 grams pine nuts
1 big slice white bread, crust removed
1 cup milk
½ clove garlic
3 tbsp Parmigiano-Reggiano
5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
coarse sea salt
10 leaves marjoram
40 grams ricotta cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, cover the bread with milk. When it's completely soaked, remove the bread and squeeze it with your hands to remove the excess milk.
  • In the mortar, add the garlic, pine nuts, and a little coarse sea salt. Start crushing the ingredients with the pestle. You will have to make circular and decisive movements, continuing to grind until the pine nuts are crushed.
  • Next add the walnuts. You can choose whether to blanch the walnuts to remove the film and then let them dry, or use them directly. Continue to grind for two or three minutes until you get a homogeneous paste.
  • Now add the extra-virgin olive oil, the Parmigiano-Reggiano, the drained breadcrumbs, and the chopped marjoram leaves; mix well with a spoon until the ingredients form a creamy sauce.
  • Place the bread in a bowl and cover it with milk. Once it's completely soaked, remove the bread and squeeze it to remove the excess milk.
  • Add the bread to the blender along with the nuts, garlic, marjoram, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a pinch or two of salt. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
  • Add the olive oil and continue blending to obtain a thick, creamy sauce.

FUDGE BROWNIES



Fudge Brownies image

These brownies must sit for some time before they reach their deeply fudgy peak. They are a perfect midweek recipe to yield a weekend's dessert, though in truth they'll be ready after only a night's rest. Once they've matured, you end up with a mystifying brownie that is firm to the bite yet melting in the mouth. Walnuts contribute crunch if you like that sort of thing. They are entirely optional.

Time 1h

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
1 1/2 cups walnut halves (optional)
9 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped or broken into small pieces
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13-by-9-inch glass baking pan. If using walnuts, spread on a baking sheet and toast in oven until fragrant and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat, add chocolate, and cover pan until chocolate is melted, about 10 minutes. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, sugar and vanilla just until thick, creamy and beginning to lighten in color.
  • Whisk the butter and chocolate until smooth, then mix into the sugar-egg mixture just until well combined. Using a spatula, fold in the flour, using as few strokes as possible, until it disappears. Fold in the walnuts, if using. Spread the batter evenly in the baking pan.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking after 22 minutes to avoid over-baking. When the tip of a knife inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not liquid, remove brownies from the oven. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and leave in the pan for several hours or overnight before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container.

Yield Makes 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Syrup
3/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup lightly packed unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
5 teaspoons instant espresso powder
Pinch of salt
1 2/3 cups warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Brownie
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup lightly packed unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • For syrup:
  • Combine first 4 ingredients in small saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1 2/3 cups warm water and vanilla. Bring to simmer over low heat, whisking often. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.)
  • For brownie:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan with shortening. Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Mix in buttermilk, butter and vanilla, then walnuts (batter will be thick). Spread in prepared pan. Pour syrup over brownie layer.
  • Bake brownie until sauce bubbles around sides and brownie layer has risen almost to top of pan and feels firm to touch, about 40 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool 10 minutes.
  • Cut dessert into squares. Serve warm, accompanied by whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh walnuts.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. Keep a close eye on the sauce and remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches the desired consistency. Overcooking will make the sauce thick and gummy.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken up a bit.
  • Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. It can be used as a topping for ice cream, cake, or brownies, or it can be used as a dip for fruit or cookies.

Conclusion:

Fudgy Walnut Sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of ways. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
