[05:53] We're making fudgy vegan chocolate brownies. Here's the recipe: Position the rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350F/175C. Line an 8-inch/20-cm baking pan with parchment paper. Melt 2 1/2 ounces/80 grams dark chocolate (70 - 79% cocoa solids). Stir in 1 1/4 cups or 250 grams granulated white sugar or caster sugar (by weight not volume). Stir in 1/4 cup or 60 milliliters olive oil; 3 tablespoons or 62 grams molasses or (better yet) black treacle; and 1 tablespoon or 15 milliliters vanilla extract. Finally, stir in 2/3 cup or 160 milliliters unsweetened almond milk. Now blend these in a SECOND bowl: 1 cup or 120 grams all-purpose or plain flour; 3/4 cup or 62 grams unsweetened cocoa powder; 1 teaspoon baking powder; and 1/4 teaspoon table salt. Stir in the flour mixture, then stir in 1/2 cup or 56 grams chopped shelled walnuts. Scrape and spread every speck into the prepared pan. Bake until puffed and set, about 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before cutting and serving. [18:54] What’s making us happy in food this week? Nori and wasabi chili crisp and Luden's cough drops.
