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.
