1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scatter
the hazelnuts evenly over a baking sheet.
4 Chop the hazelnuts coarsely—some big
chunks and some small. Set aside.
7 Melt the chocolate and butter, stirring until
smooth. Remove and leave to cool.
2 Toast the nuts in the oven for 5 minutes until
browned, being careful not to burn them.
5 Line the base and sides of the pan with
parchment paper, allowing some overhang.
8 Once the mixture has cooled, mix in the
sugar until very well blended.
3 Remove from the oven and rub the nuts in
a kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.
6 Put the chocolate and butter in a bowl set over
simmering water, without touching the water.
9 Now add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure
each is well mixed before you add the next.
