welcome friends welcome back to the kitchen today we're gonna do a brownie
but I'm gonna put a twist on the brownie just a little bit and see if something
works out if you've been hanging around here for a while you know that I love to
put Marmite in soups and stews and slow braises anything with beef Marmite is
amazing in it I came across an article in an Australian food magazine where
they put Vegemite in brownies and I thought hmm I can't get fed your might
we're in a Marmite country I'm gonna put Marmite in brownies and see what happens
because I imagine that it just ramps up that chocolate flavor brings everything
to the forefront because that's what it does in a beef stew so I ran out of
Marmite last week in the beef and biscuits video so I note this morning to
get a new jar and I can only find a small jar kind of amazing that it
catches on and so many people use it so chocolate cocoa and butter and I'm gonna
melt this I'm gonna melt this in a microwave I am now firmly in chocolate
microwave melting camp I used to do it in a pot in a double boiler or memory
now I just stick it in the microwave 30 seconds give it a stir 30 more seconds
and it's done so I'm going to take this into the other kitchen and do that
because I don't have a microwave out here on set I'll be right back okay next
we'll deal with the eggs I need two eggs and I'm just gonna whip that up with
some sugar and vanilla and I'm gonna add the Marmite into this mixture as well so
two eggs sugar a little bit of vanilla oh maybe a lot of vanilla and we'll give
that a whisk just to get it going
okay I think we're ready for the Mar - so let's get spoonful of that so I'm
just gonna do a really good scoop you know I saw the article but then I didn't
read it so I don't know how much they used I'm gonna say probably one to two
tablespoons and we'll see what happens so whisk that in okay looking good now
in this bowl I have flour and I'm gonna add some salt and baking powder just a
tiny little bit of baking powder because you don't really want too much rise in
your brownies they are meant to be sort of fudgy so I'm just gonna mix that in
and you'll have to mix it to well just you know stir it together now it's time
to combine everything so and get rid of the whisk and I'm gonna stir the
chocolate into the egg mixture now the chocolates been sitting out for a little
while so it has mostly cooled in it goes okay and we just stir that in and it
mixes in really nicely pretty easy you could use the whisk if you wanted to use
the whisk but it's not necessary because we're already done now the flour goes in
and the flour can just go in in one big dump you don't need to put it in a
little bit at a time because it really isn't much flour in this recipe
looks great now I have an 8x8 cake tin with a parchment sling in it just so
that we can pull it out easily and I'll just transfer the brownie batter into
this I think it probably could use a nine by nine and I know that a lot of
people use a brownie pan which is almost like a baking sheet with a little extra
lip on it kind of like a jelly roll pan if you want to bake it in that go right
ahead brownies are really good in those makes them really fudgy okay just smooth
it into the corners a little bit
and into the oven hmm I think this is gonna be good
man I think this is gonna be really good
all right Glenn so I see you've made more brownies yes how on earth did you
find a brand new recipe that has you're right there's probably butter chocolate
there's probably 15 or so brownie recipes on our channel so I'll link to
that playlist this one is different I'm not gonna tell you what although one of
my favorites has has beer in it but yeah hold the black and tan brownie anyway
that has a quirky tang mm-hmm yeah although I'm not sure I mean I'm not
saying it's a bad thing I'm just you said it's something I need to guess I'm
trying to guess it's gonna tank flavor to it so it's it's really earthy mm-hmm
like the chocolate flavor is really like earthy yeah it's not but there's almost
like a like an acidic Tang and on the on the end did you not use like a more
natural chocolate or more it's weird I'm looking for not heavily sugared
chocolate uh interesting cuz I would have thought it would have brought the
chocolate out more no it's kind of toned it down mm-hmm and made it darker mmm
does that make sense like a darker chocolate I think you have to actually
change the name okay and that brownie says when someone says brownie they
expect a certain chocolaty a brightness and a seed and oh yeah this is still
sweet but then the Marmite adds a really rich texture to it like it's almost like
a cheesecake flavor yes yeah that's we get there we got
there at the time okay so now here's the thing and I know that you this is one of
the most difficult food things to wrap your head around you don't taste the
Marmite and people will say why would I add
something if I can't taste it because well I think it tastes horrible and I
wouldn't influence this the flavor though it is one of those things that
you add that modifies the other flavors yeah so it's it is a flavor modifier
flavor enhancer that you don't actually taste and you would know if it's not
there but you also know that there's something there but you don't know what
it is mm-hmm so I think that is great that
it's not a child's brownie no this is not a I'm at a happy party child party
brownie oh no no this is a glass of red wine I was just gonna say that post
titled meal with you yeah a glass of red wine
it would probably even compliment cheese
yeah not like a chattering thing but something with a lighter flavor yeah
maybe even a soft cheese you could call it I think you could have a lot of fun
with it like a double cream or a triple cream Brie yeah with it that would be
kind of okay so it's I don't want to say that it's weird but it's it's not a
brownie as you would expect a brownie to be it is much more and I hate this word
but it's decadent it really is sort of that it does have a very rich flavor
yeah but it's not super chocolaty that's the bit that's gonna throw people off I
think even more than anything else and it's not overpowering or cloyingly sweet
or it's just I don't know it's the unlit brownie it's it's just yeah the
unbranded chocolate brownie I don't know so I'm really happy with that I'm happy
that we made it I don't know if it is something that I would when I'm sitting
down at 7:30 at night and say oh let's make some brownies that's not gonna be
the recipe might not be the recipe but if I was having a dinner party with a
bunch of friends over that would end up at the end as something that we would
have with a dessert wine like a nice wine you'd enjoy yeah I know I think
that would go really well the nice wine because the acid and the sweetness from
the iced wine would cut that all together
oK we've got a whole dessert platter holy yeah so if you're a little bit
adventurous give it a try and you know you can get just a tiny little bottle of
Marmite and I used probably half of that bottle
I'm actually surprised you bought such a tiny bottle usually you buy the giant
wine they didn't have them I know if I can be hard to find some days yeah so
thanks for stopping by give this a try see you again soon
you
