Enjoying a Brownie Tart on this beautiful Sunday! Recipe from #TheFamilyThatCooksTogether listed below 1 cup hazelnuts, lightly toasted 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 11/2 cups sugar, divided 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips 3 large eggs 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in 1 tablespoon of hot water 11/2 pints raspberries Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a fluted 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom with non-stick cooking spray. In a food processor add hazelnuts, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt and 1/4 cup of sugar and pulse until finely ground. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat, then cook swirling the pan occasionally, until nutty-smelling and deep golden in color, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the bittersweet chocolate chips. Let stand until melted, about 2 minutes. Whisk the butter and chocolate until smooth, scraping up any browned butter solids from the bottom of the pan. Let cool slightly. In a mixing bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs with the remaining 11/4 cups of sugar and coffee mixture on medium speed, about 5 minutes. With mixer on low, add the chocolate-butter mixture, followed by the cocoa-hazelnut mixture. With a spatula scrape batter into prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the top is glossy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool until slightly warm. Remove the outer ring from the tart pan. In the center of the tart, place the raspberries in a circle or in the shape of a heart. Garnish with sifted powdered sugar. Serve with ice cream.

Full recipe: 2 gallons homeade stock chicken or beef or both chilled. One onion One carrot One small bunch parsley 10 Egg whites Two pounds of ground grass fed beef Salt and pepper One tbsp of white miso Puree everything in a food processor until well combined and very emulsified until the texture is a very runny wet mixture. Set aside Place cold stock in a tall stock pot and set on top of the stove on high. Immediately while still cold whisk in the wet Meat egg white mixture with a large whisk. Turn heat on and continue whisking every two minutes or so while the stock is starting to get hot. It will look like a wet hot mess, don't worry it's exactly what it should look like. As it begins to get to the simmer stop whisking at this point. If you have a thermometer that would be around 125 degrees. Now it's time to let the albumen and protein coagulate and in turn clarify the stock. Make sure it is only on the lowest and gentlest simmer. As it gets to the simmer the wet mess will turn into a dense crust and like magic the broth will begin to pile tru the top. When this happens gently poke a two or three inch hole in the top of the raft and you'll allow the broth to freely simmer . Keep it low and slow for about an hour. Be patient. When finished. Do not move the pot. Let it sit for ten minutes or so and settle. Then wet a rag and place over a strainer and bowl. Gently ladle into the strainer like in the video. Serve be dry warm. Not hot. Bon appetit. Chill and freeze the rest! It's the best health food around!
