Meet Jamie, a 21-year-old Commis chef at Richmond Painswick. After a year of working as a host, Jamie was successfully appointed as our new trainee. Jamie has been working hard at his in-house training and has accepted the opportunity to undertake an NVQ in food preparation. Today we’re sharing Jamie’s favourite recipe from our Autumn and Winter Menu: a delicious chocolate & peanut butter brownie.

Ingredients:

• 185g butter
• 185g dark chocolate callets
• 85g plain flour
• 40g cocoa powder
• 50g white chocolate callets
• 50g peanut butter
• 3 eggs
• 275g caster sugar

Method:

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pre-heat your oven to 180°C
• Place a pan of water on the stove and bring to the boil. Ensure the pan is large enough to hold a metal bowl on the top. Place the dark chocolate & butter in the bowl and melt over the water
• While the chocolate and butter are melting, beat the eggs and sugar with a balloon whisk
• Allow the chocolate and butter mix to cool slightly
• Once the sugar and eggs are white and fluffy, add the melted chocolate mix
• Then add the flour and cocoa
• Once all the mixture is combined carefully pour into the baking tray
• Now melt the peanut butter in a pan and scatter the white chocolate over the brownie mixture
• When the peanut butter is runny, drizzle this over the top of the brownie
• Bake for 25 mins on 180°C
