INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter an 8 inch by 13 inch medium
baking pan.
Chop chocolate into bits and heat with butter in a double boiler until
completely melted. Remove from the heat and stir in sugar to partially
dissolve. Beat the eggs with vanilla. Separately stir the flour and salt
together. Stir the eggs into melted chocolate, and then stir in the flour
and walnuts just until combined. Do not over stir. Spread into the buttered
pan and bake 25 to 30 minutes for soft brownies (40 minutes for chewier
brownies.)
Cool completely before cutting and serve with a dollop of Port Cream.
Simmer the Port over medium high heat until reduced to 1/4 cup. Then chill.
Beat the cream until just thickening, then stream in the sugar, reduced
Port and vanilla. Continue to beat to soft peak.
Wine Suggestion: Serve as a first course with Beringer Cabernet Port Wine.
