Galilee Green – Israeli Spicy Fudge Brownies

Chocolate Fudge Brownies are irresistible… but this Israeli spiced up and creamy version are the best ever!

One way we make Shabbat special is to add “special” food items to our Shabbat meals.

We sing about it in our Shabbat songs – “meat and fish and all tasty foods.” So when I think about my menu each week I pray that I’ll be inspired to bake something that will make our guests go WOW!!

Suddenly, brownies came to mind. And why not make them with a hint of spice?

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces of dark chocolate
• 1 ½ cups of wheat flour or potato starch
• 2 cups of sugar
• 2/3 cup Galilee Green Olive Oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Topping – ¼ cup crushed cashews, Pink Himalayan salt and ½ teaspoon hot pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into a medium metal bowl
2. Melt the chocolate by placing the bowl over a simmering pot of water
3. Add the olive oil and stir occasionally
4. Remove the bowl from the pan to cool off
5. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, sugar and vanilla until they look thick and creamy
6. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the egg mousse and gently fold the chocolate with a rubber spatula
7. Sift the flour over the bowl of egg and chocolate mixture and gently fold in the flour
8. Pour the mixture into a non-stick pan
9. To make the topping – place the crushed nuts and a drizzle of olive oil into a pan. Heat up while mixing for 30-40 seconds. Add the salt and hot pepper flakes.
10. Top the brownie mixture with the spicy nut mix
11. Bake in a preheated oven 160ºC/320ºF for 22-25 minutes

The brownies came out so moist, rich and gooey. They are best eaten when you’ve completely cooled them. Some people love them straight out of the freezer!

NOTE: Most olive oils will be too strong for this dessert recipe. We recommend using only Galilee Green because it is light enough not to overpower the brownies.
