    Cup of Yum
  1. Firstly, put two sprigs of rosemary into a pot with the butter. Slowly melt the butter till it is a light golden brown. Take off to cool, leaving the rosemary in till the last minute, then discard.
  2. Put the sugar into a food processor with the picked rosemary leaves and process until you have a nice green sugar.
  3. Melt the chocolate and set aside keeping warm
  4. In a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in butter and chocolate with hazelnut flour ( or GF flour) and cocoa and combine well.
  5. Pour into a brownie tin or bake in individual tins for approximately 15 minutes, or until just set. Test with a skewer. They can be under cooked for a fudgy effect
To make the caramel :
  1. Put the sugar , water and lemon into a pot and mix only till the sugar is moistened. No need to stir further.
  2. When the sugar is a deep brown and bubbling, remove from the heat and add the cream start to whisk in the butter, until all of the butter is incorporated.
  3. Taste to check the salt level and add a bit at a time, don’t add too much as the salt will take a little while to melt through. Pour into a container and let it cool and set. This can be kept in the fridge for weeks. Scoop with a warm teaspoon to form quenelles. Serve in a little quenelle ( scoop) on top and drizzle the brownies with some melted chocolate if you like.
